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 …

Review of 'Fool Moon' on 'Storygraph'

I enjoyed the story. I still have a bit of a tough time with Harry's "chivalry" but the fact that he fully admits he's sort of a sexist but because he wants to treat a woman well and protect her helps me not want to punch him sometimes. But this book did have him feeling sorry for himself quite a bit. I feel like he did that in the last one, too, but it's been awhile.

I will probably read the next in the series at some point. I do like the characters and the story lines are dark and fun.
