THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND...

When ex-FBI Agent Patrick Henderson calls in an 'X-Ray Sierra India' incident, the operator doesn't understand. He tells them to pass it up the chain till someone does.

That person is FBI Special Agent Kimberley Reynolds. Arriving snowbound Northern Wisconsin, she finds that a tornado has flattened half the town - and there's no sign of Henderson.

Things soon go from weird to worse, as neighbours report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising - cutting off the town, with no way in or out...

As the clues lead to the coldest of cold cases - a cursed expedition into the frozen wilderness - Reynolds follows a trail from the start of the American nightmare, to the horror that still lives on today...

A mini ROL story

I expected the voices to sound like the ROL characters. But You soon get used to Penelope Rawlins’ voice.
The storyline is compelling, but reminded me of one of the Harry Dresden books.
All in all an entertaining listen.

Great continuation of the ROL series!

Thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook - also thank you for not making Holbrook Smith not read in an American accent - and for the record, this narrator’s British accent is equally as rough as his American accent! Introducing new narrators helps to move the stories into different realms. Keep going, I look forward to the next one!

Thoroughly enjoyed this novella

I enjoyed both the story and the narrator. It was definitely a different listening experience than the previous Rivers of London audio books, but I found the story completely gripping and think that Penelope Rawlins did a great job portraying the various characters.

Loved it…

I really enjoyed this audio novella, even if it’s a bit divorced from the Rivers of London setting. The characters are likeable and engaging, the story moved along at a decent pace and I liked the glimpse into small town America. More Kimberly adventures please!

horible naration

i've just bought the ebook so i can read it myself, because obviously this is a great book but the naration was so bad i could not enjoy it properly.
