Reading Rivers of London, I'm reminded of another difference between genre (so-called) and mainstream (soi-disant). Genre protagonists are likable more often than not; mainstream protags rarely are. At least not in the last 80 years; the 19th century by now is another country. But I'm pleased with my sensible pair of police officers so far and look forward to more time in their company.
