Fool Moon is book no.2 in the Dresden files, and i think its definitely an improvement, theres the building suspense, the trying to decide who's responsible for whats going wrong, and then the grand finale. I read most of this book a few months ago, but only picked it up to finish the last 80-odd pages today, and I'm glad i did. It pushes lots of buttons and the relationships between characters; particularly Harry and Murphy were interesting.
For those who are not familiar with the Dresden files, Harry Dresden is a wizard, perhaps the only real practicing one in the yellow pages. he even has his own office. However, this does not mean that people take him more seriously for it, as i mean... magic - who believes in it? but wherever he goes technological things have a habit of..breaking. TVs and CCTV will mysteriously fuzzle out, phones will stop working and his car has a habit of breaking down. Harry also works on retainer for the police, with a sort of special section which deals with unexplainable cases, such as when a brutally mutilated corpse turns up, linked with strange paw prints and a full moon. Business suddenly starts to perk up...
Murphy is incharge of this special-cases section of the police, but (partly because no-one takes it seriously) her job is in jepardy, and her relationship with the crank wizard harry dresden is not helping things, this puts an interesting strain on their relationship (they're freinds and sometimes colleges, but im hoping romance will come later in the series :P).
As i said, this book is interesting and a nice continuation of the series, to me personally it was nothing spectacular, but definitely a decent read. Its supernatrual and i found it under the 'horror' section of the library, if you havent read it yet i'd recoment reading storm front first, so the characters and stuff make more sense. Whats interesting about this particular book is that it explores lots of different types of werewolf type things, so if thats your kind of thing it may be worth a look into.
