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 ...

This series is so much fun, PC Peter Grant is caught perfectly between the world of the supernatural and being a cop. It comes across as believable and so much fun.

Peter gets drawn into a missing children case that will have him a fish out his regular waters in Herefordshire rather than his home patch of London. He gains a variety of allies and has plans for the future by the end.

I laughed my way through and read chunks out to my husband and encouraged a fantasy fan at work to try the series, what can be said that's better than that?
