In the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London - to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London you can't take the London out of the copper. Reviewing the ninth book in the series, ″Amongst our Weapons″, in The Guardian, Lisa Tuttle wrote "Aaronovitch has no peers when it comes to successfully combining the appeal of a down-to-earth police procedural with all-out fantasy: here are real places, real history and real problems complicated by the existence of magic, ancient spirits, fairies, ghosts and talking foxes, all dwelling alongside ordinary, clueless humans. His plotting is still satisfyingly inventive and the continuing characters maintain their charm in the ninth novel of a series that began in 2011.

It’s witty, fun, and full of vivid characters, and the plot twists will keep even seasoned mystery fans guessing.”— Publishers Weekly Leaving London, Peter goes to a small village in Herefordshire, where there appears to be a supernatural element to the disappearance of two local girls. Having to cope with local cops, as well as local gods, Peter finds the mystery deepens.

Peter Grant’s growth as a magician is somewhat less important to this story as is his growth as a police officer. I was quite impressed with how the story shows him stepping up, taking responsibility, and proving himself a capable officer – even if his beat is a bit weird. And in the end, though to no surprise, Peter Grant saves the day – albeit, a little earlier than you would imagine, and therefore, not necessarily as cleanly as you first suspect.
