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 ...

One of the better books in the series. The major drawback is that the lore of the world, particularly things revealed in the conclusion, are not expanded upon. This seems to be a running theme in the series, and only gets more frustrating as the books go on.
