Winter's Gifts

This is going to sound like I disliked the book. I promise I didn't hate it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the Peter Grant novels, because it has Problems.

Things that make the Rivers of London books special:
* Peter, with his nerdy interests and pop culture references
* The interplay between Peter and Nightingale
* The Rivers (especially Bev and Abbigail)
* London, historic and present
* Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's wonderful audiobook narration

All of those elements are missing from this book, the protagonist is not a practitioner, and she's more a victim of events than actively managing them.

Maybe it's going to take a few of these to warm up to Kimberley and the FBI, but for the time being, I'm looking forward for more Peter Grant titles.
