Book description
Hey, have you ever been pulled into an audiobook so tightly into its world you feel like you're standing right next to the characters? That's exactly what happened with Ben Aaronovitch's Foxglove Summer. I was already hooked on the Rivers of London series, and this fifth installment flips the script by taking Peter Grant out of the familiar streets of London and into a small Herefordshire village. The narration delivers that same crisp, engaging style you've come to expect from Aaronovitch-his voice feels as if it's already a character in the story.
The plot kicks off when local police are reluctant to admit that something supernatural could be behind the disappearance of a few children. Peter's usual London copper instincts clash with the quiet, almost hesitant village police. Yet the story never loses its pace; the supernatural tension is layered in a way that feels fresh, even for a fan of the series. I kept my ears glued as Peter, accompanied by Beverley Brook, was drawn into a deep mystery that pulls local cops and local gods into the mix. The way Aaronovitch describes the setting-shops closing by 4 pm-creates a tangible sense of time passing in this rural backdrop, making the stakes feel immediate.
Listening to the audiobook, I found the pacing just right. The narrator weaves the dialogue and descriptions so the story feels like it's unfolding in real time, not just reading. The small village of Herefordshire gets its own voice, and the supernatural element is presented with Aaronovitch's characteristic blend of humor and seriousness. It's that same voice that made his early Doctor Who work so engaging, then faded, and now has made a triumphant return with the Rivers of London.
And let's not forget the meta-moment where Aaronovitch himself muses about leaving London when the city is "prised out of his cold dead fingers." It adds a personal layer to the narrative that feels almost meta. The entire experience feels like a conversation with a friend who's spilling all the best bits of the story.
In short, if you're looking for a fast-moving, richly atmospheric audiobook that feels like a natural extension of the Rivers of London world, Foxglove Summer is a must-listen. It keeps the charm, adds a new setting, and delivers the supernatural intrigue that keeps me coming back for more.
