Lies Sleeping: Book 7 in the #1 bestselling Rivers of London series (A Rivers of London novel)

Product Information

Seventh in the detective/supernatural urban fantasy series ( The Hanging Tree, 2016, etc.) in which many of the characters are embodiments of London’s rivers—so that history literally comes alive. Police Constable Peter Grant; an officer in the Metropolitan Police and the first official apprentice wizard in sixty years.

This week’s poem is from The Third and Last Book of Songs or Aires by John Dowland (1563-1626), Elizabeth I’s court musician. It’s been suggested that the song alluded to the queen, who, after increasingly poor health, died in 1603, the year of the book’s publication. Obituaries are written in advance, so why not an elegy? And perhaps some would argue it’s not an elegy at all, but a lullaby in praise of sleep. Whatever its origins, Dowland’s song seems charged with personal emotion. Forget about solving all these crimes; the signal triumph here is (spoiler) the heroine’s survival.Aaronovitch has outdone himself this time - it's the best book of the series thus far, and that's no mean feat. ( IRRESPONSIBLE READER) I loved how the novel nicely illustrated that even with the might of the entire police force, it often takes months to find a culprit and confront them. Thus, we also got nice private events, letting us meet interesting fae/deities and learning quite a bit about London's ancient past. Some medicines, drinking too much alcohol and taking drugs can also cause excessive daytime sleepiness.

Now we don’t mean physical running, but when your dog lying on its side (i.e. the side sleeper position), you might see that their paws are moving in unison. This could be a response to a dream.

Lovecraft mentioned "Serpent people" in a story or two, but never really fleshed out the concept.

Rank after rank, by the cohort and the numbers, but with no standard raised – no eagle. Abigail continues to move furiously fast through her magical studies.

But even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that the Faceless Man, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long term plan. A plan that has its roots in London’s two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees. Apart from a deep and abiding love of listening to Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's narration plus the gripping, crazy storyline I've finally worked out why these books endear themselves to me: it's the humanity. A couple of books ago I was afraid that the author was treating the series as his golden goose, writing side investigations with little advancement of the main plot. My worries are laid to rest for now, replaced by different ones that 'Rivers of London' may be approaching closure too fast. I guess we'll see what the future brings.

Better Sleep for a Better You.
