I am currently reading (and enjoying) Ben Aaronovitch’s novel Rivers of London. I’ll admit I’m a sucker for urban fantasies, where the monsters walk among us!
Rivers of London is good stuff, with lots of supernatural fun and, of course, London. What a super setting. The tone is not quite as zany as Christopher Moore’s Dirty Job (set in San Francisco), but it is amusing in its own right. I love these books that explore famous cities well enough that the city essentially becomes a character in the story. They are eerily like my upcoming novel (summer ’22), which is an urban fantasy that explores the mysterious dark-n-rainy city of Seattle–the U.S. title is MONSTER LAWYER (because, yeah, I’m also a lawyer), and the German title is to be determined. Stay tuned, because I intend to take you on a monster-guided tour through the dark places in Seattle.
But back to Rivers of London. Great book. Check it out if you like urban fantasy.
My best,

“Rivers of London” sounds great! My family went to the UK a couple years ago, so it sounds especially fun from that perspective. Also, can’t wait to see “Monster Lawyer”! Seattle sounds like the perfect spooky setting for that. Is that YA or … ?
Monster Lawyer is adult urban fantasy. It will be released in German in the summer of ’22. We don’t have a U.S. publisher yet–we’re working on it!
Well, it sounds great! Hopefully you’ll have publishers fighting over it when they see how well it sells in Germany! 🙂 I look forward to hearing of new developments.
