If I like Rivers of London

What else should I read? I like fantasy set in real places which I realise is a bit of a niche!

If you like Rivers of London, I think you will like the Chronicles of St.Marys by Jodi Taylor. Also worth looking at Invisible Library series by Genieve Cogman. I also like the Dresden files by Jim Butcher as previous poster suggested. Often wonder if they partly inspired Rivers of London series. I do wish Ben Aaronovitch would write faster - just as long as they were as good 😁

The Laundry Files by Charles Stross (the Civil Service vs Cthulhu)

A bit darker than Rivers, but I've enjoyed the Shadow Police by Paul Cornell, The Last Changeling by FR Maher, and The Wolves of London by Mark Morris.

Thank you! I've read all of Neil Gaiman's books and graphic novels already Blush I'll definitely look for the rest though

Neil Gaiman has some good fantasy type books. I enjoy the audiobooks particularly

Bryant and May series by Christopher Fowler. I want to work in the Peculiar Crimes Unit so much!

That's one of my favourite series. Off the top of my head I also like the Alex Verus books by Benedict Jacka, the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, and Kate Locke's Immortal Empire series.
