The Follycast is a bookclub podcast series focused on the Rivers Of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. Each episode we discuss a book in the series.
In this episode…
It’s here! The latest juicy novel in the Rivers of London series for Margaret, Jan and Richard to get their teeth into and it doesn’t disappoint.
As the focus moves from London to Aberdeen, it’s a tale of men with gills, panthers, lighthouses and oil rigs, of horror, romance and humour.
We tackle such questions as:
As Peter shares narration duties in a novel for the first time how well does that work?
How essential is it to have read the graphic novel ‘Here Be Dragons’?
How much is it stretching credibility for the whole cast to decamp to Aberdeen en masse? Why didn’t they just fly?
Just why does Ben write so many named characters? Can we keep track?
Where does the series go from here as the pandemic looms on the horizon?
and most worryingly of all, why does Richard now want someone to die?
