Publisher Description
Book 1 in the Rivers of London series, from Sunday Times Number One bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch.
My name is Peter Grant, and I used to be a probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service, and to everyone else as the Filth.
My story really begins when I tried to take a witness statement from a man who was already dead...
Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. After taking a statement from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost, Peter comes to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny.
Suddenly, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic.

Customer Reviews
Excellent listen
Great narration too.
Nice start
Nice start to a great series that introduces the main cast well
The fact that it actually based on the geographical location of London and that it to my knowledge uses places well and with great description with the fact (and throughout the whole series) uses the one way roads as a problem helps maintain suspense.
The ending is shocking but leads to great twists and turns in follow up books
This book is one that I desperately want to be turned into a tv show I think it make a great little show

Can anyone tell me how many chapters there are as I’ve not got the whole audiobook . I’ve tried to get help via Apple support, who sent me myriad ways to solve the problem, none of which worked.
