Lies Sleeping (Rivers of London) – Ben Aaronovitch

Read Time:47 Second

51CJO1oypeL._SX327_BO1 204 203 200_The Rivers of London series is similar to the Laundry novels in that it's about practitioners of magic within the London Police fighting supernatural forces, and I cannot keep any of the books straight.  On the plus side, the world's not coming to an end, and I remain absolutely enthralled with Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's narration.  I could listen to that guy read a cookbook, and be in tears when he describes what to do when it's time to use the … oven.

Again, lots of great imagination and factual narration.  Wish the story made sense.  I had no idea what the characters were fighting against or why the entire book.  That may be because I wasn't paying attention at some point in the narration, but I don't usually miss knowing what the existential horror that threatens Britain is for the entire book.
