I <3 me some Andy Samberg, I was sad when he left SNL, but this show was a good choice. The show is funny, actually laugh out loud funny, and the supporting cast is great. Peralta (Samberg) is a goofy, non-rule following detective at Brooklyn 99, and when the new Chief is appointed, everything changes. Even in the first season, Peralta developed and matured as a character.

Irreverent, deadpan comedy about a mega-arrogant spy / detective who works for his mum
The main character is such a total **** it's hilarious. Sporting my one of my favourite TV quotes: "sorry I couldn't hear you over the deafening sound of my own awesomeness."

It's very fun. And a little bit stupid. But in a clever way!

Seemingly no focus
I wanted to really like this book, but it was all too scattered. It was cool learning a bit about this lawyer that was a pseudo-detective, but the book was kind of all over the place. The most interesting part was the work over white slavery, I hadn't really read about a lot of that before. Overall, this was a meh.
  
Orlando A. Sanchez is fairly churning these e-books out and, In my opinion at least, it's beginning to show.

Book #8 in the 'Montague and Strong detective' series, in which Hades (yes, that Hades) wife Persephone has been kidnapped. Tristan Montague and Simon Strong (and Peaches the hellhound, of course!) are hired to investigate that disappearance, leading to the usual mayhem and large-scale destruction of public property.
  
Nate is visiting his cousin in San Francisco. She is a junior detective as well, and Nate winds up taking on one of her cases - a missing joke book. While I missed the regular supporting characters and found the chapters a little weird, I did still like the book.

The latest letters to Sherlock Holmes involve translating common nursery rhymes. Couple that with a kidnapping, and Reggie Heath is going to have to put on his detective hat again. The beginning could have been a little better, but once this book got going, it was a wild, fun ride.

Extremely interesting
Took this book on holiday with me and could not put it down! Managed to read it very quickly. So interesting to learn about forensics and pathology! Behind the scenes of crimes that ordinary people would not realise. Read about interesting cases as the forensic/pathology/psychological/detective work that goes into solving such crimes. Fascinating! Clear chapters also. Including some pictures!
