Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch
2.0
2.5?
I don't know how long it would have taken if I wasn't listening to it as an audio book. It was pretty slow most of the way through. I liked the side-story of the Thames dispute, but the main plot line was difficult to concentrate on. The descriptions were often good and the information about the police force in London was interesting, but it was so clear that a man wrote this; every young and/or available female character was described by her breasts and butt within the first few sentences of meeting her. Something that the main male character acknowledged every time he saw her. I'm not giving up hope of continuing the series, but it won't be an immediate thing.
