About this listen

Baton. Light. Chocolate. Duck. This is not DS Adams' usual kit. This is not DS Adams' usual case. She doesn't think it's anyone's usual case, not with the vanishing children and the looming bridge and the hungry river. Not with the snap-snap-snap.

But six kids are missing, and she's not going to let there be a seventh. Not on her watch. And she knows how to handle human monsters, after all. How different can this really be? So: Baton. Light. Chocolate. And the bloody duck. Let's be having you, then.

Loved this story and the protagonist is very like-able. As a huge Rivers of London fan (actual books and audio) I was trepidatious in trying a new take on the London magical realism cop angle but the plot is super; it works. Some very funny lines and witticisms. Very good descriptions of place and atmosphere. I did rather struggle with the vocal performance which was very, very fast paced and had a constant and rather exhausting sense of urgency and some very odd inflections and stresses on unexpected words which made it quite hard to follow. I hope the second instalment is read at a more relaxed pace.

A really good story

Loved the story and excited to start another DI series with a little supernatural. I slowed the narrative speed down slightly for ease of listening .

Great story

I just didn’t click with this. I didn’t find anything to particularly interest me in the main characters and the villains were so vaguely drawn that in my mind I still don’t have a visual hold on them. It’s not very bad, it’s just not great.

Urban fantasy of middling quality

This is the great start to the paranormal police genre. The narrator is perfect for the story. I recommend it.

Very good
