Is there an easy way to tell if a book is a Part 1 so that subsequent books have to be read to resolve the plot?

Where are you looking at these books? I think you aren't giving enough information to give a practical answer. Amazon at least usually says something. If not in the book info, then at least in the reviews.

Having to research books before commiting to them is too much of a pain, but reading 300+ pages to get no resolution isn't?
