It's a real treat - Hot Fuzz meets Harry potter via hardboiled police procedural - with a compelling cast of characters and a nail-biting mystery to be solved (Living North)
This is a book that I can't recommend enough - as I said before, it's a great jump on point for new readers, but it also keeps up the greatness of the previous four novels. Whilst this might be my favourite since the first novel, that doesn't mean the others are rubbish - this just has a little something extra, a little je ne sais pas. (The Cult Den)
As brilliant and funny as ever (THE SUN)
Ben has deservedly earned high praise for his Rivers of London series and Foxglove Summer continues to broaden the saga with gusto. With plenty of dark humour and action, great characters - human and otherwise! - this latest novel more than delivers everything fans will expect from a new story in this brilliant series. Thoroughly recommended (Down the Tubes)
An incredibly fast-moving magical joyride for grown-ups (THE TIMES)
Foxglove Summer is evocative, mysterious, engaging, and, mostly, enormous amounts of fun. Fans of the Peter Grant series will not be disappointed, and those new to the books should start with Rivers in London, safe in the knowledge that the sequels are just as good. (Starburst Magazine)
Foxglove Summer is urban fantasy the way it should be. The kind of book that keeps you up way past 3.00 am because you really need to 'read to the end of this chapter' and then the next ... and the next... Foxglove Summer is well paced and engrossing. You do not have to have read the previous four volumes as it stands on its own well enough, though having the history at hand is always going to help. A fun read and thoroughly recommended. (Piper at the Gates of Fantasy)
this little country retreat offers much in a way of a fresh, singular plot to devour with some real police action and adventure... it's a witty installment (Sci-Fi Now)
I loved this story. This is a series where the announcement of a new book fills me with joy. (Geek Syndicate)
As we'd expect, each fan is going to have their favourite and this book is definitely one of mine (The Book Bag)
