FBI agent Kimberley Reynold, featured in an earlier entry in the Rivers of London series, Whispers Underground, where she learned about the reality of magic and that gods walk among us. Now back in the US and assigned to the FBI’s unit that investigates weird and possibly magic events she travels to a small Wisconsin town to check on reports from a retired FBI agent of something unusual. She arrives to find an unexplainable storm has destroyed parts of the town, a blizzard has cut the town off, the retired agent is missing and, oh yeah, strange creatures are attacking. Trying to determine who she can and cannot trust while getting to the bottom of the mystery of current and past disappearances, Kimberley has her work cut out for her.
This is a quick read and delightful entry in a series that never disappoints. Hopefully Mr Aaronovitch will give us more of Kimberly’s adventures in the US world of magic. Highly recommended ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
