It begins with a dead body at the far end of Baker Street tube station, all that remains of American exchange student James Gallagher - and the victim's wealthy, politically powerful family is understandably eager to get to the bottom of the gruesome murder. The trouble is, the bottom - if it exists at all - is deeper and more unnatural than anyone suspects...except, that is, for London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant. With Inspector Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, tied up in the hunt for the rogue magician known as "the Faceless Man", it's up to Peter to plumb the haunted depths of the oldest, largest, and - as of now - deadliest subway system in the world.

At least he won't be alone. No, the FBI has sent over a crack agent to help. She's young, ambitious, beautiful...and a born-again Christian apt to view any magic as the work of the devil. Oh yeah - that's going to go well.

What other book might you compare Whispers Under Ground to and why?

The Cuckoos Calling, The Absent Ones,

Have you listened to any of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, in other books in this series.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughed out loud many times.

Any additional comments?

Absolutely love this book and the narrator. It is funny, interesting, full of twists, cheeky, and endlessly entertaining. It is also complex enough for multiple listens. This is my favorite in the series, but I love them all. The narrator is awesome and keeps getting better.

Another fun murder mystery in magical London, solved by the Metro Police’s apprentice wizard, Peter Grant. I enjoyed it as a mystery, although I’m not sure I could have figured it out from the clues sprinkled throughout the book – it depends on an intuitive leap on Peter’s part at the end. The charm, though, is in the story, the characters, and the world created by the author.

Every book in this series adds to the magical London that the metro police’s “unusual” events unit must deal with. We got a little visit with our old friends, the sassy river goddesses, and to meet new ones, half-fairy (or is that half-goblin?) and those who live in the secret places that they’ve carved out underneath London, all of whom have their own set of natural laws and etiquette that Peter must learn to navigate. It becomes apparent that Nightengale isn’t exactly infallible or omniscient. And more Lesley – I’m really looking forward to how her character evolves over the series.

Audiobook, via Audible. Once again, the performance by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is perfect in every way. I could listen to that man’s voice all day, every day.

This series is a super get-away from our tumultuous world. The story is riveting, the performance superb. I don’t recommend it for ages below 17 because there is some sexual content. Nothing disgusting but may startle those who are still just dreaming about adult intimacy. I won’t write about the storyline as I don’t want to spoil surprises.

slyly referential to the genre, great multi-voiced narrator, just enough mystery, very amusing and entertaining!

witty and entertaining

I enjoyed this book, but at times it felt like it was dragging on and the main character is sort of bland. The magic system is interesting and feels integrated. I will be purchasing the next in the series.

Interesting, but slow

Incredibly imaginative; engaging dialogue and narrative. The series gets better with each adventure. Good fun.

Wonderfully Creative

Apparently the person who wrote the summary didn't read the book. The description of the FBI agent must relate to another book. Kind of funny how off it is. If you are looking forward to the character described, you may be let down.

But the book was great! I am really enjoying this series.

Great book but description doesn't match.

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith remains an absolutely captivating narrator! I love the series. This story has the same fun characters, twists, and exciting scenes as 1&2, but for whatever reason, the story line didn’t captivate me quite in the same way. Probably just my own interests seeping through. I’m super excited to continue with the series!

Narrator Amazing
