They are why the book is called "Rivers of London". I can see that there might be too much fantasy for someone who doesn't usually read fantasy. But the author hasn't lost control of the story. It's going just where they always intended it to go.
I found the magic and the magical background and characters fascinating. And since I like murder mysteries too, this book was right up my street.
