Publisher's Summary
New York City, New York. Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young - fop, flaneur, and Englishman abroad - as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps. That is, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, pursuing a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone - which will take Gussie from his warm bed, to the cold shores of Long Island, and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows... Discover why this incredible series has sold over two million copies around the world. If you're a fan of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams - don't panic - you will love Ben Aaronovitch's imaginative, irreverent and all-round irresistible novels.

Ben Aaronovitch tackles PG Wodehouse and more
Another delight in the Rivers series. A young Nightingale visits the magical NewYork Jazz Age of the Harlem Renaissance. Told by a richly reimagined Bertie Wooster (with the bits that PG had to leave out) and so many other literary and cultural references, I kept smiling with joy all the way through. Kobna Holbrook-Smith did a great job with the accents and voices, as always. I wouldn’t start with the series here but it’s a great one for the fans.

Hilarious good time
Who doesn’t love a magical jazz and drag romp in 1920s New York? This was very entertaining, and had some great laugh out loud moments .
