My wife is interested in reading Fantasy and Urban fantasy books.
Mainly as she sees me reading stuff like "The Dresden files, Iron Druid" etc.

The thing is she doesn't like violent stuff, meaning stories that are largely focused on violence.
Now generally Dresden files and so on have a strong graphic violence theme, which is fine for me and many other people.

However seeing as this is not my wife's thing, I'm wondering if there's books in these genres that don't focus on that.

I'd be looking for something that is perhaps more political, intrigue, interaction between people , suspense, thriller, development of relationships etc.

Obviously there would pretty much always be some element of violence in it, but not to be the focus and not graphic violence.

Could be a tall order, but any suggestions?
