Kelly (279 KP) rated Rivers of London: The First PC Grant Mystery in Books

Nov 22, 2018

Lovable characters and a gripping plot. (0 more)

Laugh out loud read

Ben Aaronovitch has excelled himself in this novel. Having never read any urban fantasy books before, I was dubious about reading this book, which was purchased for me as a gift. Having picked up the book during a bored moment on holiday, I became hooked before the end of the first chapter.

PC Grant is a character with whom I could engage with from the start. A character who was likeable, but also not your typical hero. The story itself is very easy to follow and Aaronovitch does not overload the reader with complex characters, making the book a perfect easy read.

Aaronovitch uses humour appropriately throughout the book, keeping the reader engaged without being over silly. Once started, this book was not put down until after I had turned the last page.

I liked how the character's grew (0 more)

I enjoyed this book even though it went from past to present. Some books can make it difficult to keep on track but this was easy to keep up with.
I was hooked from the first chapter and there were so many twists and turns it kept me hooked.
The author really gave me an insight into each character and the journey they all went on growing up.
I felt so bad for the characters and what they had to go through especially with the twist at the end. It was heartbreaking but it felt good at the end. The characters opened up.
I think the audience for this book is twenties and over but no specific gender. It is for people who like a good twist and a good crime book.
