I thought 'Sarum' was okay, but that his writing had improved a good deal in 'London' and 'The Forest' - both which I recommend. If you liked 'London' you'd like 'The Forest'.
I was deeply disappointed with the first of the 'Dublin' books, and barely made it through it. He has a tendency to 'over-explain', which was kept in check in 'London' and 'The Forest', but here's it's been given free rein again and it's much worse than Sarum. I'm not going to read the second book. 'New York' is still not for sale in Europe (I think), but I might try out a sample. After the 'Dublin' disaster I won't spend more money until I find out if it's worth it.
