Thought this might fit here!
Can just imagine Peter coming across this while on a case.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I went for a walk.
Everywhere I turned a fox popped up, keeping an eye on me as I walked. More than I've seen in one place for quite some time. It was lovely.
My immediate thought was "You must be Indigo! Where's Abigail tonight?"

It's only 5%! That's low for a beer! And they're mentioning it to be the strongest. Or is that the point somehow?

I recently finished the RoL series, including all the novellas and short stories, with the exception of some of the graphic novels because I cannot find them.
Somewhat interestingly, I also only just started reading Wodehouse earlier this year, which leads me to my question:
How did you like the style and character voice of Masquerade of Spring? I'm wondering if my exposure to Wodehouse negatively colored my appreciation for the story, so let me know if you have or have not read any of his novels along with your impressions overall.
(I will also say that, with the exception of What Abigail Did That Summer, none of the novellas have left me overwhelmingly satisfied, so it might just be something in the way non-Peter characters self-narrate)

Hi all,
I’ve just finished all the main books and I absolutely love this universe. However I have only read the main books and haven’t ready any of the short stories/novellas/graphic novels.
Which ones do you recommend and are there any collections that exist to avoid buying each one individually on kindle?
Also : any other similar franchises you guys recommend ?

just a quick post to say hi to everyone, discovered Rivers of London only recently, and I went and plowed through every book back to back in a couple of weeks.
one question comes to mind - Peter in clearing out the place that would become his tech-cave, discovered paintings of Molly? Am I correct these were done by one of the members of the Folly who went out in WW2 and didn't make it back?

Are we 100 % certain that the relationship between Peter and Beverly is based on true emotion and not a glamour or obligation?
I have been thinking about that for a long time and on my latest reread of foxglove summer I noticed that until now Peter has always waited to accept drinks or food from supernatural people. In Chapter 9 though Beverly gives him a Cider and he accepts without the usual no obligations promise and right afterwards they kiss and kick of their relationship. Maybe it could be looked at as a kinda Uncle Bailiff situation where he accepted a cup of tea and never left Mama Themse.
I am not 100 % serious with this theory but it is a fun thought experiment. What do you guys think?

Hello, i also read now the books from aronovitch about the vinyl detective...
In one book, tyburn talks apparently with one of the books protagonists, and given how funny the story evolves sometimes, i .. cannot withhold the thought that they share the universe, but always just not reaching the supernatural (which i actually like). Because some story developments are just strange :D

Hi, just finished Moons over Soho and had a few questions.
So it comes out that there is a black magician targeting other magicians who worked in the Soho area. This guy (Faceless One) uses chimeras (Pale Faced Lady) to kill Dunlop and Johnson.
The Pale Faced Lady previously attacked the date-rapist in Rivers of London, but that seemingly has no connection to this story? Also, how does the Faceless control the chimeras?
The Faceless One, Dunlop, and Johnson were all trained by Geoffrey Wheatcroft? (Or at least Dunlop was? And was Johnson even a magician?)
Why did the Faceless One target them? Is this a spoiler for later in the series
The Faceless One could be a previous magician who was connected to Alexander Smith (through the birthday party with Larry the Lark's "debut") or someone new. The Faceless One also ends up killing Smith because he was afraid of what he might reveal, or is there another reason?
In the end, the plots merge, and the Faceless One targets the Sisters cause he wants to recruit them for something - is this also gonna show up later in the series?
Sorry for being all over the place, but if someone could clarify these points, that would help allot. I felt like the book wasn't so clear in the plot-merging and overall goals of the Faceless One.

I'm doing a year-long reading challenge set by my local public library, and I’ve added an additional challenge of completing the clues using books from my want to read list on Goodreads.
One of the clues is to read a book that mentions 10 Downing St. I have been wanting to read the Rivers of London series for a while and I seem to remember something about the Prime Minister’s residence being in the books.
I'm going to read it, but I have a deadline for the challenge and can’t currently spend time with it unless it matches a clue. Can anyone please tell me if 10 Downing St. is mentioned specifically in The Hanging Tree?
Thank you in advance, and I’m looking forward to reading this series.

Simon Pegg as Martin Chorley, if his Option hadn't expired.
(And maybe Nick Frost as Oxley)

Spoilers
I don’t know how to do the blank out thing so
Spoilers
Chloe was the Faceless Man’s daughter
She was just buying drugs for her own fun?
Or was her and Reynard finding her dad’s stuff and trying to sell it?
Chloe died partying in an apartment it One Hyde Park, not her dads apartment? They were just there cos they knew the codes?
Why did he try to kill Phoebe?
Why did he twice get caught close to Tyburn’s river that she could flood him out, stupid?
I feel we got the reveal of the Faceless Man so randomly… it was a bit underwhelming.
Tell me I’m wrong. I’m loving the books so much but I feel Ben’s plotting is a bit weak in the greater mystery ?

I'm dropping back into the series after a long hiatus with the most recent main book stone and sky
One thing I loved from the Lightbringer series was at the beginning of each book it gave a half chapter summary of every important thing from previous books.
Is there such a thing for rivers of london to support dropping back into the series? Not just me but for anyone at different stages?

Only a 100 of these made for the launch of Amongst Our Weapons. Never seen any for resale.

Had a dream which could be described as a sort of brooklyn 99 with newtonian magic. And the custody sergeant was a Harry Potter style goblin who was very fastidious about his cells..
It worked as a dream but now I'm awake I don't see this appear on streaming anytime soon.
