Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch

Imagine if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Metropolitan Police …

Rivers of London is a hugely entertaining series that mixes magic, crime and the myths of the capital. Author, Ben Aaronovitch clearly adores London and weaves a fascinating thread of history – real and lore- through this page turner of a crime novel.

It’s hilarious, inventive and definitely not for children. If you loved the Potter series, British crime shows, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman or Terry Practchett, I think this is a series you will devour.
