Actually, it was law school that killed me on foot notes. You haven't seen foot notes until you read case law and legal briefs. Lawyers like to hide things in the foot-notes.
If you like footnotes? The only book or writer I've ever read that does a good job with them is Nabokov - Pale Fire. The footnotes are 90% of the story and a satire on the use of footnotes in academic writing.
Oh...on the Harrison books? It's Kim Harrison, and start with Dead Witch Walking. Also they are serials, not cases of the week. There's a female bisexual living vampire that is in love with the main character, a demon, an elf, a pixie, and the main character is a witch. The novelist is a former biologist/geneticist - with a background in genetic engineering. Rather interesting.
