Fool Moon takes place six months after the events of Storm Front. Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, Chicagos only professional wizard for hire, has not been employed as a Special Investigations Squad by the Chicago Police Department since the events of Storm Front. His friend, police chief Karrin Murphy, has been giving him the cold shoulder, and Harry has been accused of working for local gangster John (Johnnie) Marcone. One October night, he gets a visit from Lieutenant Murphy about a murder - one that has been very, very messy and seems to be the latest in a series of gruesome events, which coincidentally happen at full moon. And theres more moonlit nights on the way...

du pop-corn au poil

C'est le souci avec la méthode d'écriture américaine, c'est dynamique, bourré d'action, parfois inattendu et avec des rebondissements. Mais comme dans une série, quand vous êtes face au même schéma plusieurs fois, vous êtes plus difficile. Dans ce tome, la méthode "die hard" est encore plus poussée : dans la moitié du livre, le héros n'en peut plus de se prendre des blessures, de ne pas dormir (et pour cause il se passe des meurtres toutes les nuits), de sacrifier un à un de ses collifichets et de se mettre dans la mouise. A trop en mettre, on finit par ne plus y croire, on sait qu'un mcGuffin (élément sorti du chapeau) va venir sauver la situation à la dernière minute. J'ai donc moins apprécié la fin.

Le thème des loups garous est pourtant cher à mon coeur, mais le fait d'avoir mélangé plein de types de loups garous …

Enjoyed again. This one was slightly better than the first. They say the next book is where things kick into high gear...so here's hoping.

Review of 'Fool Moon' on 'Goodreads'

I am rating this one lower than the first book in the series because in a way, it felt very formulaic. Murders, call Harry in, he finds a supernatural link he can't share with Murphy, etc.

It was basically the first book with another nemesis.

However, it was still an entertaining read and page-turner, and Jim Butcher tosses in new stuff about Harry that really want me as reader to delve deeper into his history.

Let's see if Grave Peril can toss some surprises at me.
