Book description
Hey, you've got to hear about this new Rivers of London pick I just finished on my walk home-yes, I finally listened to the entire thing on my way to the pub! Ben Aaron Aaronovitch, the guy who started out as a Doctor-Who wizard and now makes us all think London's streets are secretly full of wizards and ghosts, drops another one of his sparkling, gum-shoe-busting mysteries, "The Hanging Tree." And I can't wait to tell you why this one is the best audiobook of the year so far.
First off, Aaronovitch is a living legend. The author's background is almost as epic as the stories he writes-born and bred in London, he's got that city-wide love-hate relationship that's perfect for a narrator. He mentions that he'll "leave his home when they prise his city out of his cold dead fingers," and honestly, that line just made me chuckle out loud. It's the sort of witty, self-aware joke that Aaronovitch is famous for, and it sets the tone for the whole thing.
Now, let's talk about the plot, because it's a real ride. The Hanging Tree was the infamous Tyburn gallows, right where Marble Arch now stands. Imagine the place: a once-macabre spot that's now the heart of high-end Mayfair. Aaronovitch takes us from the cobbled lanes of Oxford Street to the opulent mansions of the world's super-rich. Blood-literally-has returned to these empty houses, and with it, a whole lot of magic. And that's where Peter Grant, our reluctant wizard-detective, steps in.
You've probably heard of Peter Grant, right? He's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades: a wizard, a police officer, a conspiracy-theorist, and a guy who can probably talk to the Thames better than most of us can talk to our own friends. This time, he's got a new sidekick, Nightingale, who turns out to be a perfect foil. They're stuck with a host of river gods, ghosts, and spirits who've attached themselves to the only wizard left in England and to the Met's most reluctant supernatural investigator.
I have to say, the audiobook's narrator does a stellar job of bringing all these characters to life. Each voice is distinct-especially when Aaronovitch throws in those quick-fire jokes. The sound design makes you feel like you're standing in the alley behind Marble Arch, breathing in the city's history and its present-day buzz. The magical tension builds nicely, but it's never heavy; Aaronovitch's humor keeps the pace brisk and the stakes high.
The book is a mash-up of history, supernatural, and a touch of satire. It feels like you're walking down a London street that's both familiar and oddly alien, with every corner holding a new surprise. Aaronovitch's writing style is accessible yet clever, and the audiobook format allows you to follow the story with your ears while the city does the walking for you.
If you're a fan of witty crime-fantasy, or even if you're just looking for something to listen to while your bike ride, "The Hanging Tree" is the pick to go with. Aaronovitch has managed to turn a dark chapter of London's past into a lively, modern adventure that's as entertaining as it is engaging. Trust me, this is one audiobook that will leave you laughing, gasping, and perhaps questioning whether the Thames is a bit more than just a body of water. Cheers to that!
