Foxglove Summer by Ben Aaronovitch

Foxglove Summer (Rivers of London, #5) (PC Grant)

by Ben Aaronovitch

In the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper.

Travelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what's more all the shops are closed by 4pm ...

Another top notch installment. Several laugh out loud moments. I really enjoyed the progression of his relationships. The new information about Molly was really cool and I enjoyed finding out a bit more about Ettersberg. It was well timed, well written and well needed! :)

My only complaint is that I've been panting for this book for months now and I sat down and gobbled it up in an evening. I want the next installment NOW. Strike that... I want it yesterday...

It's a good thing I'm not queen of the universe because I would be sorely tempted to chain Mr. Aaronovitch to his word processor in hopes of increasing output :P
