Rivers of London- Ben Aaronvitch







This was a new genre for many of us, this has being described as urban fantasy. The story is based around a young mixed race constable in the Metropolitan Police who becomes involved in a case involving ghosts, magic and river deities.

It is set in the modern day and for those who know London its interesting to read descriptions and the history of the city. It is a really well researched book for history and police procedures.

Not a bad book but definitely one for people who enjoy fantasy books, a tell tale sign is that a majority of us will not be reading the second book- Moon over Soho.

I wasn't sure about this one to begin with, but I really liked it. It is not at all what I would normally read, but very glad I did.
