Again this is the first book in the series so I’m hoping more character development will eventually come forth in later books. Molly is another interesting character that I would love to know more about. There are other supporting characters I do like Leslie because she’s got the wit (possible love interest, maybe) and she’s a perfect sidekick to Peter. Nightingale has his own secrets though and a few are revealed but there’s more to him that you think - I hope there’s more information about him in the later books to come. Peter’s relationship with Nightingale is pretty much a mentor/student one. I’m glad to see Peter was just your average good guy who’s doing his best to be a policeman until he comes across supernatural things in which his whole life changes.
I enjoyed reading this one as it featured a main character who wasn’t your typical anti-hero - which we seem to have a lot lately. Aaronovitch is a name to watch."-Peter F.

Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. It is a hilarious, keenly imagined caper."-Diana Gabaldon " Midnight Riot is what would happen if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Fuzz.
