Burning Water by Mercedes Lackey

2.0

DNF @ 50%. Its weird, I usually love Mercedes Lackey, even her weirder, dated stuff, like the car racing elves series. But this was... I don't know. I had to force myself to read it. The characters were so flat and cliché. I know the "private investigator does magic" trope hadn't been done often at the time of publication, but from a modern standpoint it really does feel like someone rewrote the Dresden Files to have worse world building and a less charismatic spellslinger.
