- Need To Consume
Body Work is an accomplished mystery and a well-created urban
fantasy. Readers who are already hooked on the books will enjoy
this series; readers who haven t yet discovered Rivers of London
will find this a good introduction." - Fangirl Nation "Body Work is
a delightful continuation of Aaronovitch s story, capturing the
spirit and tone of the novels and bringing them to life with what
is essentially a quick crash course in the world of Rivers Of
London for the uninitiated." - Geeky Girls Love Sci Fi "The magic
or falcon, as police slang would have it is pleasingly grounded
here, creating a world of subtle intricacies rather than dazzling
fireworks, and the supernatural is blended into the police
procedural with satisfying realism. The characters are familiar but
engaging enough, and the art does much to make each face
distinctive and expressive as well as give the story its
down-to-earth sturdiness." - Booklist" --Booklist"
