Summary
The new Rivers of London novella, from Sunday Times number one best-selling author Ben Aaronovitch.
Ghost hunter, fox whisperer, troublemaker.
It is the summer of 2013, and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, police constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant, is off in the sticks, chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.
Aided only by her new friend Simon, her knowledge that magic is real, and a posse of talking foxes that think they're spies, Abigail must venture into the wilds of Hampstead to discover who is luring the teenagers and more importantly - why?

Great addition to the Rivers of London series.
I didn't think I'd like this book that much as I don't have much in common with 13 yo girls. Abigail, as we know is super smart, street wise and driven and I used to think of her as not much more than a side note for younger readers to relate to. it was interesting to have this character fleshed out and hopefully make a more meaningful contribution to future Rivers of London books.

Another splendid instalment
With each book in the series the Rivers of London ‘world’ gains depth and realism even though you know perfectly well it is fiction. Abigail is a great character and thoroughly deserves her own novella. A well written story with a humorous edge to it. One book a year isn’t nearly enough.

Fun short story
Really fun story, a lighter read than some of the books in the Rivers of London series following the main story line of Peter Grant.
The narrator is pleasant to listen to, and having Kobna Holdbrook-Smith do some cameos is really fun.
Fun to read as part of the bigger world of the Rivers of London, but also a good read as a set alone story. Also, good for maybe a slightly younger audience than the other books in this series.

Well read and laugh out loud funny in places.
To be fair, it would definitely help to have read at least one of the other books in the series so that you can get a handle on the scenario. I loved the occasional interruptions with translations of the slang usage to the point that I laughed out loud at some of them. Well read and well written. Definitely worth listening to.

Great Novella. Deserves full novel
Loved this novella and would really like her included in more novels so her character develops, would be good to know about her family. Some times the story could be hard to follow but I was listening and working so that could be why.

Foxy matters
Great novella attached to the Rivers of London series. Abagail's adventures on her own. Maybe better suited to teens but loved it even tho i am closer to death than birth. Good performance but some wobbly accents, not quite at Kobna's standard but pretty good
