For those who enjoy RoL, The Stranger Times is a series with a similar vibe, and is possibly in the same universe (in his podcast, author Caimh McDonnell mentions RoL and Ben Aaronovitch quite a bit, they've done book launches together, and there's a few implicit nods in the books). The author puts out free short stories in his podcast too, so you can get a taste of his style. The books are centred around an eponymous newspaper whose team investigate unusual stories whilst initially remaining skeptical of their sources/content, but who gradually get pulled into this adjacent culture. It's a fun read, and one where the author's joy at writing it really comes through.
