UC wrote:Stormfront by Jim Butcher
I dislike first person and I'm not much of a fan of detective novels or urban fantasy. This book is all of those but I still enjoyed it. The author clearly knows what he's doing mixing hardboiled detective stories with wizards and the narrative tone is generally fun. I may return to the series after covering other new authors. For anyone who has read more: does the series remain with episodic "cases" or does it develop a larger plot?

I really hope this is more successful than my last several attempts to read a book --I've been starting books, then fizziling out halfway through --no fault of the books --they are good books --my brain/focus just hasn't been cooperating with me.
