Personally, if you are going to have someone jump into the Dresden series cold, I would maybe start them out with the second book,
Fool Moon.
I always felt that
Storm Front was really a throw-away that Jim was using to just work out his ideas and style to see how things go.
Fool Moon was basically just a re-hash of the same inter-character relations with a better story line. (Drug-dealing warlock or marauding werewolves; who wouldn't enjoy the latter?)
In fact until some recent occurrences in the series that focused attention back to the side characters and the situation in the first book, it could be easily read out-of-place as a catch-up between other books once you're really into the series.
