Aberystwyth Mon Amour is a hard-boiled detective novel set in Aberystwyth, a quite little Welsh seaside town. The juxtaposition is kind of funny, and it's an interesting read. I had a really nice day trip to Aberystwyth back in February, and I saw them in the museum then, so I bought it when it popped up cheaply on Kindle.
Rivers of London is a police procedural meets Harry Potter. MET Cop learns magic is real, learns some, hunts ghost-serial-killer who is murdering through evil voodoo puppetry. I'm reading it for a bookclub. The meeting isn't for quite a while, but I was on a Sunday shift at work, and we can generally get away with reading then. Only paperbacks, no kindles, hence why I didn't get on with The Second Sex (the bookclub for that is this Saturday!).
I actually read the sequel to this a while ago. I don't remember disliking it, but though I've had Rivers of London on my bookcase for a while I just haven't gotten around to actually reading it till now.
