Raves for the Rivers of London novels:

“With irreverent humor and a fast-paced plot, Aaronovitch cheekily marries the ancient Arts with the Internet age. . . . Every plot revelation brings with it the realization that the reader has only begun to scratch the surface of backstory in this deeply-layered, richly imagined London. Smart and gritty, twisted and whimsical, Aaronovitch has proved yet again that secrets are his specialty.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Told in a narrative voice that seasons laconic humor with a dash of cynicism. . . . Terrific entertainment and ripe for a series.”

—The Daily Telegraph

“Smart, edgy, and dramatic . . . a fine addition to a fascinating series.”

—Locus

“It has everything: a plucky hero, clever mysteries, entertaining villains, and, just for fun, wizardry. . . . This series is so much fun it really deserves an enormous audience on both sides of the pond. It’s a natural for grown-up Harry Potter devotees, but also for urban fantasy fans in general.”

—Booklist (starred review)

“The prose is witty, the plot clever, and the characters incredibly likeable.”

—Time Out

“At its heart, a police procedural with an overlay of urban fantasy elements. The voice is persuasive and funny as all get-out, and the reader is engaged with the narrative from the very first page. Aaronovitch has written a diverse cast of characters who all feel like real people with their own specific motivations. This book is simply wonderful.”

—Romantic Times (top pick)
