I don't why they are at the folly nor why they have the 'most haunted car in Britain'. For instance the Folly now sports both a BMW and a Firari. Since I cannot read the graphic novels I miss both context and am left wondering at things that are mentioned. I suspect part of the issue is that some of Peter's stories are told in Graphics Novels and these non-graphic novels rely on events that take place in the Graphic Novels. In this novel, Peter's rare abilities are handed out to other characters like candy. One of the special things about Peter was that aside form Nightingale, he was really the only none-Fae who practiced magic. While Peter's magic seems to have progressed some his cousin Abigail seems ready to outpace him. Even his encounters with Leslie are bland, especially the ending one. In this book Peter is, at least to me, boring. While I will pick up the next book, I won't be anxiously waiting for it as I did after reading the first few books. In the last few books that flare has died.

I found him a fun character to follow, watch as he struggled to be both a police officer and wizard.

And, far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr. To save his beloved city, Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague - Lesley May - who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. A plan that has its roots in London's 2,000 bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees. Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring him to justice.īut even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that the Faceless Man, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long-term plan. The Faceless Man, wanted for multiple counts of murder, fraud, and crimes against humanity, has been unmasked and is on the run. The seventh book of the best-selling Rivers of London series returns to the adventures of Peter Grant, detective and apprentice wizard, as he solves magical crimes in the city of London.
