By Ben Aaronovitch (read by Kobna Holdbook-Smith)
Book Four: Rivers of London
I don't remember how I got hooked on this series but hooked I am. Some of it had to do with the narrator, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, who is amazing. He moves seamlessly from regional British accent to regional British accent to patois to American accent to German. He has one of the best American accents I have heard. He is definitely on my list of "you can read me the phonebook" audio performers.
But, it is not just the reader, it is the story and the writing, too. The stores are complicated and deep without being heavy. The characters are complicated and believable. Well, not entirely believable because this is fantasy, after all.
Four stars.
