I listened to most of the rest of the books in this series in 2023, but I didn't want to read this one at the time because the main audiobook narrator is different from the other Rivers of London books. Enough time has passed that I was ready for it now, and it was just the kind of quicker, engaging read that I needed right now. It was fun to spend time with Abigail and the foxes.

Abigail is awesome and I hope we continue to get more from her in the future. This book seems to set her up to have quite the adventures going forward.
