I think we can cope with the extra activity.

I've recently read three books in a series written by a British author
Ben Aaronovitch. The series is called the Rivers of London and several
of London's rivers appear in the books. If you thought London only had
the Thames then read and learn. You will also learn a lot of London
geography including the overground, underground and underworld. The
protagonist is an apprentice wizard attached to London's Metropolitan
Police. The books are great fun, I'm not sure how much of that fun is
because I am a Londoner, though now transplanted.

The books so far are:

Rivers of London
Moon Over Soho
Whispers Underground
Broken Homes (which will be published next month.)

If you like the idea of forensic thaumaturgy also look out for the Lord
D'Arcy stories by Randall Garrett.
