The Follycast Episode 4: Broken Homes
In this month’s episode…
…we discuss ‘Whispers Underground’, the fourth novel in the Rivers Of London series by Ben Aaronovitch.
In Broken Homes, Peter finds a whole new set of senior officers to annoy as bodies pile up across the home counties and South London. All roads lead to Skygarden tower, a fictional, but strangely familiar, tower block in Elephant & Castle. Peter and Lesley move in together, but not in the way many of us would have been hoping for back when we were reading book one. We experience a trippy Spring Court on the South Bank, Nightingale manages to lay waste to a farmhouse and the book ends with a huge revelation, much to the relief of hosts Margaret and Richard who have been carefully policing potential spoilers in the first three podcasts.
As BBC continuity announcers are fond of saying, “Things will never be the same after this episode of the Follycast.”
