Charlie Stross' Laundry series, all of it. It's great. Rollicking spy novels about the world where Lovecraft is true. Very readable and enjoyable.
I really liked The Atrocity Archives, but the problem is that a lot of the punch probably came from introducing the setting that's unique but also bit of an one-off joke. The rest of the series seems to increasingly be Another Book with the Characters from That One Book You Liked Doing Stuff.
Stross did say in his blog ur'f tbaan znxr vg cbfg-ncbpnylcgvp, so I'll probably keep reading because I want to see fbzrbar znxr heona snagnfl cbfg-ncbpnylcgvp.
I see what you mean, though I think he develops the scenario a bit. The problem is that the characters aren't well-developed IMO (though my favourite is Angleton).
