Whispers Under Ground

Continuing my Ben Aaronovitch reread/read marathon and I’m really enjoying it as I think it’s been at least three years since I tries this last and I can’t remember a lot of it.

Peter gets himself and The Folly mixed up in another murder with a ‘Falcon’ aspect with much wider implications to the supernatural community of London and how they are viewed in that community.

A murder in the Underground sets of a quite intricate chain of events involving the history of navvies in London, goblin markets, the rapacious nature of the modern art scene, and much more.

Lesley returns in this story, but due to the nature of her accident and her own sheer determination she is now an apprentice at The Folly learning magic from Nightingale and keeping Peter and Nightingale focused on best practice in modern policing.

Loved this and sets up quite a lot for later books but it is here that we really start to see Peter’s reputation get cemented and his roles as an apprentice and police officer firms up nicely.

Another great read in the Rivers of London series and looking forward to continuing this and trying to get as much read before the New Year as possible.
