Bill and Martha, by all means do try Laurell's series.
I would recommend
staring with the second book, The Laughing Corpse, or
even the third,
Circus Of The Damned, and then going back to the first.
I'm not sure if
I would have gone on with them if I had read the first
one first, even
though it's good. There is another series by P.N. Elrod
about a vampire
detective which is good, but much, much tamer than
Laurell's.

I have never heard anybody recommend reading the 2nd and 3rd
books first. Guilty Pleasures hooked me on the whole series.
I was lucky in that all but the last book had already been
published by the time I started them. I went on an Anita
Blake marathon and read one book after another until I had
finished the whole series. Nothing satisfied me after that.
Somebody recommended Tanya Huff's series but I didn't like
it. P. N. Elrod's Jack Fleming series is good, also. I loaned
all my friends and family Guilty Pleasures. Most of them
griped about not liking vampire books but I was very
obnoxious about it :) Every one of them was on the phone the
next day asking for the order of the books because they were
hooked. Obsidion Butterfly is the next book in the series due
out in 2,000. This series is my very favorite, as you can
probably tell. There's never a dull moment from the first
page to the last in every one of them. OK, I'll shut-up
now.
