Finished the first book in The Vampire Files, Vol. 2. The only vampire in this book is Jack and, in the other books, the only supernatural characters I've met so far have been related to his making as a vampire. Most stories so far have only that one sup... Jack was a reporter but now has a friend who is a detective and who he works with. Jack has two talents that help him as a detective--his ability to get around locked doors and his powers of hypnosis. Though it is difficult to hurt him permanently, it is not hard to hurt him temporarily and this can be bad for the humans he is protecting. So, suspense exists.
The stories are set in the late 30's Chicago, so gangsters show up in most of the stories as does the "noir" atmosphere of the era. This one centers on the art world and was quite enjoyable (a true mystery that the reader is able to solve along with Jack.) Fun.
