In this episode…

It’s here! The latest juicy novel in the Rivers of London series for Margaret, Jan and Richard to get their teeth into and it doesn’t disappoint.

As the focus moves from London to Aberdeen, it’s a tale of men with gills, panthers, lighthouses and oil rigs, of horror, romance and humour.

We tackle such questions as:

As Peter shares narration duties in a novel for the first time how well does that work?

How essential is it to have read the graphic novel ‘Here Be Dragons’?

How much is it stretching credibility for the whole cast to decamp to Aberdeen en masse? Why didn’t they just fly?

Just why does Ben write so many named characters? Can we keep track?

Where does the series go from here as the pandemic looms on the horizon?

and most worryingly of all, why does Richard now want someone to die?

Hosted by Margaret Holborn, Richard Marks and Jan Trott

In this month’s episode…

Up to date with all the books and novellas, the Follycast breaks its usual format for a quiz about all things Folly-related.

Seven rounds of (hopefully) guessable questions as Margaret and Jan fight it out for the coveted ‘Rivers Of London’ Mastermind title.

Pit your wits against the Follycast team by playing along at home.

Will Margaret have a significant advantage in having read all the books twice, compared to Jan just the once?

Does Richard’s complicated scoring system make any sense at all?

These questions and many more will be answered in the Follycast Christmas Quiz.

• Richard’s experience listening to a Rivers Of London audiobook for the first time.
• Our impressions of the novellas overall and the results of a reader poll ranking the four novellas.
