Midnight Riot


Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch 310 pgs.

Peter Grant is just finishing his training as a police officer and is waiting for his permanent assignment.  He works a bizarre murder and interviews a ghost.  Yes, you read that right, he talks to a ghost.  This is handled masterfully in the book.  Peter doesn't really believe in ghost and doesn't really want to tell anyone that he talked to one. Peter soon learns about a lot of supernatural things because he gets drafted into the unit that deals with such things.  It is a unit consisting of his commander and him.  He starts as an apprentice wizard, studies magic and things really move along for him.

Based on the supernatural element, this isn't my kind of book.  However, I really enjoyed this one very much.  Peter is a compelling character, a little bit of a smart-ass and just rolls with the punches.  I will certainly read the next in the series.
