The Rivers of London series is simply AMAZING! Midnight Riot introduces Peter Grant, a London constable just finishing his training and waiting for assignment to the boring paperwork unit -- until he meets a ghost while guarding the scene where a headless body is found. Of course his partner, the perky Leslie May doesn't believe him. He sets out to find the ghost and ends up as a wizard in training. Diverse, fun, snarky, British police procedural mixed with urban fantasy. Highly recommended -- well, unless F-bombs offend you LOL.

slightly odd / eclectic English fiction (if you are not sharp on English slang, may need to look up a few words lol), the 'real' wizzard(s) in England with references back to Hogwarts (different name).

Fun fantasy series. Interesting characters. Read the second novel first & had to backtrack.

In that quintessential British way, these stories manage to be enthralling, amusing, intelligent and easy reading. The characters, both recurring and singletons, are novel yet rooted in their own lives.

Recommended to me and I went straight though the whole series, including the graphic novels.
