Book Review: Whisper Under Ground (Rivers of London #3) by Ben Aaronvitch

Hi Cara,

Today I am back visiting P.C Peter Grant in Whisper Under Ground. This is the third book in the Rivers of London Series. 

 

Synopsis

A WHOLE NEW REASON TO MIND THE GAP
 
It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher—and the victim’s wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder. The trouble is, the bottom—if it exists at all—is deeper and more unnatural than anyone suspects . . . except, that is, for London constable and sorcerer’s apprentice Peter Grant. With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as “the Faceless Man,” it’s up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and—as of now—deadliest subway system in the world.

At least he won’t be alone. No, the FBI has sent over a crack agent to help. She’s young, ambitious, beautiful . . . and a born-again Christian apt to view any magic as the work of the devil. Oh yeah—that’s going to go well.

Opinion

Whisper Under Ground is another great urban fantasy Police Procedural.

This time the case takes place in the London Underground. I found this interesting as they explored the underground and the history of it.

One of the things is I really enjoyed how weird things get, but Peter isn't fazed about it all.  It's even more evident with how the new character reacts to the world of magic.

Although Peter time is mainly spent on the murdered artist case (which is entertaining.)There are some moments regarding the mysterious bad guy. It likes leaving little bread crumbs it leaves me wanting more.

 

My Rating for Whisper Under Ground is 4.5 out of 5.
