Review: The October Man

The October Man The October Man by Ben Aaronovitch
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

THE OCTOBER MAN is an utterly delightful installment in the RIVERS OF LONDON Series. This is #7.5 in the series, set not in London with Peter Grant, but in Trier, Germany. The protagonist here is Tobias Winter of the Abteilung KDA, the branch of the German Federal Criminal Police tasked with investigation of the Supernatural. Like Peter Grant with London's Metropolitan Police, Tobias is a relatively fledgling magical practitioner/investigator. The case involves change and transformation, irritable river goddesses, ancient history, and fungi in very unexpected and deadly places.


If you enjoy Christopher Fowler's Peculiar Crimes Unit, Paul Cornell's Shadow Police, or Charles Stross' Laundry Files, try this out!
