Overview:
Delve into the London of Peter Grant, a city where magic and crime collide in the most compelling ways. This Rivers of London Collection 2 Books Bundle brings together two spellbinding adventures from Ben Aaronovitch’s award‑winning urban fantasy crime series: Body Work and Night Witch. In Body Work, Grant—London’s first English apprentice wizard in fifty years—must untangle a dangerous possession spree that turns ordinary people into killers while also brokering peace between the river gods who fiercely guard the Thames. In Night Witch, Grant and his mentor, Nightingale, are drawn into a high‑stakes case involving a missing Russian heiress, ruthless gunmen, a menacing forest creature, and the elusive Faceless Man. The pairing invites readers to experience the evolving mythology of a living London where magic underpins every clue. This bundle also includes a Gift Journal, the perfect companion for noting observations, clues, and novel‑club discussions as you race through the duo’s intertwined mysteries.

What Makes This Collection Special:
Two early chapters of the Rivers of London saga are here, tightly interwoven by atmosphere, wit, and a deep love for London itself. Body Work and Night Witch showcase Aaronovitch’s seamless blend of crime thriller pacing with fantastical London geography: rivers, spirits, old gods, and the modern detective who suspects that the city itself is a character. The set offers fans a complete reading arc—from the apprenticeship tension of Peter Grant to the broader mythic underpinnings that shape later installments. Collectors will appreciate the cohesive voice and world‑building, while newcomers can savor two complete adventures in one value pack. Gifting this duo signals a serious commitment to immersive, page‑turning fantasy crime fiction.

Books Included in This Collection:
Body Work
Peter Grant, an unlikely hero with a talent for magic, faces a troubling case where possession turns people into violent threats. The story fuses police procedural texture with supernatural elements as Grant and Nightingale navigate rival factions of London’s magical ecosystem. The novel balances dark suspense with wry humor and a strong sense of place, delivering fresh clues and a brisk cadence that keeps readers within reach of the mystery’s core. Expect memorable set‑pieces, clever world‑building, and a protagonist whose gradual mastery of magic feels earned and believable.

Night Witch
Set against a backdrop of international intrigue, this installment sends Grant into a dangerous collaboration with a Russian oligarch’s search for his missing daughter. The case expands the Rivers of London universe with sharper political currents, a chilling antagonist in the Faceless Man, and a haunting Night Witch figure whose history unfurls across timelines. The atmosphere intensifies—from shadowed streets to uncanny rivers—while the investigative thread tightens around hidden loyalties and old loyalties re‑examined. It’s a high‑stakes mystery that deepens character dynamics and broadens the magical tapestry that defines the series.
