Aoife’s comments from the Dungeons and Drinking - Geeky Nerdy Readers group.

I highly recommend Rivers of London and its sequels, by Ben Aaronovitch

Main character is a copper (starts off as just finishing off his probationary period) in London, who ends up in the Met's wizard division, doing magic. Really good books. Fun, exciting, funny reads. (Peter is the narrator and he's a massive nerd, so it's great to play "spot the sci fi or fantasy reference".) But they also deal (in a not too in-your-face way) with stuff like race and class and immigration, and, I suppose, just who London belongs to really. But all that is completely ignorable for the magic and ghosts and river gods if you prefer.
