Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch
4.0

Quick Synopsis:

All Probationary Constable Peter Grant wants is to be a detective. While at the crime scene of a vicious murder, he has a chance encounter with a ghost that throws him into the world of magic and the supernatural. He then joins the mysterious DCI Nightingale to investigate the murder and crimes of magic. 

Thoughts:

This is a decent start to a series. It has all my favorites (mystery, humor, magic, and the supernatural), but I was never fully invested in the story or characters. I will definitely continue with the series, and hopefully, Peter Grant will become a favorite of mine.
