NNO Book Club: Midnight Riot

This month we are reading “Midnight Riot” by Ben Aaronovitch. This book has also been published as “Rivers of London” so don’t be confused if you see it by that title.

What is this book? I’ve seen it described as sort of a police procedural with supernatural/urban fantasy elements – so right in our wheelhouse.

Book summary from Goodreads
Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London’s Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he’ll face is a paper cut. But Peter’s prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter’s ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic.
