It is the summer of 2013 and Abigail Kamara has been left to her own devices. This might, by those who know her, be considered a mistake. Teenagers around Hampstead Heath have been going missing but before the police can get fully engaged, the teens return home - unharmed but vague about where they've been. Aided only by her new friend Simon, her knowledge that magic is real, and a posse of talking foxes that think they're spies, Abigail must venture into the wilds of Hampstead to discover who is luring the teenagers and more importantly - why?

Loved the foxes. It was a little confusing how we got to the house but overall, an enjoyable Rivers story. I had to look up a lot of slang but that is part of the fun.

Interesting story, but a deep dive on Abigail Kamara and the challenges she is facing. The greatest strength of this whole series is Aaronovitch's skill with characterization. Yes it is fantasy but the main protagonists are real humans with real/relatable problems.
