I liked it better than the previous books in the series; I started to get annoyed with Harrry's moaning and self-pity and there was considerably less of that in this book.

Next up is the first in the Hamish MacBeth series Death of a Gossip by MC Beaton.
Love Dresden, all of them, but haven't started any of M.C. Beaton yet. I have both series waiting for me, though... when I get around to them!

I was introduced to Kim Harrison's series with an omnibus of the first three from Mystery Guild. Fell in love and bought the rest in ebook. There are some slow parts, but I really enjoy the series.

I finished my "goal" (which was to read what I had listed by the end of Christmas Day) and threw "Christmas Stalkings" edited by Charlotte MacLeod in there, too. Now I'm on to the Lady Julia Gray bundle, by Deanna Raybourn. It contains the first three books in the series. I still think that first book has one of the best first lines ever:

"To say that I met Nicholas Brisbane over my husband's dead body is not entirely accurate. Edward, it should be noted, was still twitching on the floor."

How can you not love that?? *girn*
