What Abigail Did That Summer

By: Ben Aaronovitch

Narrated by: Shvorne Marks

The new Rivers of London novella, from Sunday Times number one best-selling author Ben Aaronovitch.

Ghost hunter, fox whisperer, troublemaker.

It is the summer of 2013, and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. While her cousin, police constable and apprentice wizard Peter Grant, is off in the sticks, chasing unicorns, Abigail is chasing her own mystery. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been.

Aided only by her new friend Simon, her knowledge that magic is real, and a posse of talking foxes that think they're spies, Abigail must venture into the wilds of Hampstead to discover who is luring the teenagers and more importantly - why?

tale weaving

aaronovich is in this genre the master, his tales are diverse, interesing and full of suprises. i would recomend his work to anyone

Excellent as always

I heard, via FB, that this was YA.. It is not.. it fits perfectly with all the other RoL books.. it's just a perspective ting 😎

Just perfect

A brilliant spin-off for the RoL series. Compact narrative well introducing incomprehensible teenage jargon. Read by the obviously talented Shvorne Marks. I’m hoping to read more about Abigails adventures.

Brilliant

Just what we needed. Peter’s precocious cousin in her own adventure. Abigail is plucky, snarky, resourceful and brilliant, the narration brings the characters to vibrant life.
Sorry Ben, I may want more Abigail more than I want more Peter!

Loved it

I really love this book. Don’t compare it to the Peter books. It stands on its own
