reviewed Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch (Rivers of London, #1)

Ben Aaronovitch: Midnight Riot (2011, Del Rey) 4 stars

Probationary Constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad …

Lots of London/British references (that I didn't get...)

3 stars

Cool urban fantasy set up in London. It's got the Dresden Files vibe. It's full of British slang, which was not familiar to me. I'm not knowledgeable in the London geography so I must have missed tons of references. It was still a nice read for me, but I guess I was discouraged to go on with the series because it seemed very niche and more interesting for people who know London culture.
