Rivers of London Project Hail Mary Alex Verus

Don’t normally do much sci fi/fantasy but I’m trying to branch out of my mystery genre.

The Bobiverse audio books are awesome, not in small part because of the narrator.

I haven't yet heard a Ray Porter narration I didn't love.

They really are. For me they're the books by which all others are measured.

I'm somewhat unsettled by book 4, heaven's river. I think the interesting concepts of the premise have been more or less exhausted in the first 3 books. I suspect that anything coming after will be more or less "things happening in that universe" rather than investigating that universe.

I don't begrudge an author continuing a series - it's guaranteed success after all. But in the ideal sense it would've been nice if the first three books had have stood alone.

I totally agree with this. Bobiverse series is in my top 3. Book 4 was a bit of a let down for me as well.
