About this listen
The brand new novella in the Sunday Times #1 bestselling Rivers of London series.
THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY ACROSS THE POND . . .
When retired 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. Leaving Quantico for 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 neighbors report unsettling sightings, key evidence goes missing, and the snow keeps rising—cutting off the town, with no way in or out . . .
Something terrible is awakening. 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 weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Good but not great
The story was pretty good, though a different feel from the other Rivers of London books. The narrator did a good job voicing the main character, but not as good on the others, although she either got better as it went on, or I got used to it. Overall an enjoyable, if different, book.

Agreed: good not great
Sigh, I agree with another review… good not great… The narration was just ok ( nothing like Kobnah’s!) I agree with yet another review: it’s a parka, not a parker…plus I’d add that the male character voices were poorly done. And this story didn’t have the humour of the Peter Grant stories, nor the architectural fascination….and just lacked the mysticism, the deep sense of place and the fun….

It's parKEH not parKER
I love this world and most of the narrators have been outstanding. This is a bit of a wobble, alas.

Is it bad that I miss Peter Grant?
The story was very good, the monster suitably scary, I was very interesting hearing the story from a North American character. However really couldn’t warm to Kimberly.

I Should Have Listened to Those Who Warned Me
I read the poor reviews that warned about the mispronounced words (parka, wigwam) and the in-credible voices used by Ms. Rawlins for the male characters. Too bad that I was so excited to hear another book from the Rivers of London universe, I ignored the warnings. Unfortunately, the repeated errors by the reader became painful to hear and spoiled my enjoyment of the story.
Mr. Aaronovitch and his editors could do some more research about winter ice conditions because "craters" in new or shallow ice is unlikely. In fact, the whole production seems hurried and feels overall,like a poor offering. Perhaps The Rivers of London franchise has had a free ride from Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. I'm sorry I bought this audible book. I suggest everyone wait until the next one.

Such a disappointment
I'd really been looking forward to the next title in this series, but I can't even finish it. I cannot get past the narration which for me is like nails on a blackboard. Don't even get me started on the oddly mispronounced words. While I normally love Ben Aaronovitch's writing, I can't even comment on the plot as I just can't get past that narration to actually get into the story. I wish I'd bought it with a credit so I could return it.
