Probationary constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, 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.

A light listen. Original story that unfolds neatly. Exceptionnal narration (though you have to get used to heavy breathing ; it was made in 2013, i.e. not the golden age of audiobooks).

Really good urban fantasy

Narrator Kobna has such a warm, soothing tone. He does different characters so well!
The different "English" dialects are well presented. You can just feel yourself traveling around London visiting all the haunts; yes a pun intended! All in all a marvelous listen.

Loved the Story and Narration

Story itself is only superseded by the skill of the narrator and using so many different colloquial British accents for each character. Really quite remarkable.

Remarkable narrative steel

l loved it so much. The story matches my quiky sense of humour. Had this book in my library for months then decided it was time. So glad I listened. Narrator is utterly fabulous, really one of the best so far, I think, and the story is an odd mix of history, ghost hunting, magic and crime solving.

Now, it is from the point of view of a single young man, so internal dialogue is sometimes left of centre, but overall well balanced with wit, laziness, curiosity and action when it counts.

Fantastical police work and irreverent humour

The story was interesting, but the audible breath taking of the narrator distracting. i won't get the 2nd book if the breathing is the same in the sample.

disappointed <br />
