Book 2 of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series.
Anita - who also works as an animator, raising zombies to clarify points in their wills, or to farewell loved ones, is asked to raise a zombie nearly three hundred years old, which would require a human death to do so. She refuses, and ends up running around the city trying to find a monster that pulverises families and leaves mincemeat instead of bodies, whilst avoiding the personal dislike of a powerful voodoo witch.
This one was also a good read - the major characters in the series are fleshed out, and the suspense of the crime aspect of the novel is kept at a fast clip throughout. The romantic aspect is still very low-key, but there are developments in a well-paced long term plotline that start showing up, and continue through the next few books that I've read so far, as well. Interactions between Anita and Jean-Claude (the new Master of the City) develop, and I found it interesting to see both characters develop in relation to each other.
