There continues to be a lot of London featured in there (my sister flailed about knowing exactly where something was in one of the books because she'd been there, haha) and definitely keep the mystery happening.

American Gods is definitely my preferred Gaiman text. I've read three, and with each one I came to like his style more until I loved it. But I think the mythology aspects in American Gods is what won me over - it was so rich and intricate and played out beautifully.
