Can you recommend some urban fantasy books that are not detective fiction?
Well, 'Uprooted' by Naomi Novik is an urban fantasy that isn't detective - based. It tells a story of a young woman who is taken by a wizard to live in his tower and the magical and often dangerous things that happen there. Then there's 'An Enchantment of Ravens' by Margaret Rogerson. It's set in a world where the fey interact with humans in various ways that don't involve detective work. Also, 'The Golem and the Jinni' by Helene Wecker, which features a golem and a jinni in early 20th - century New York, with a story that is far from detective fiction.
One good urban fantasy book that isn't detective fiction is 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. It delves into the idea of gods living among us in modern America.

Fiction-guru, can you recommend some books that are both urban and fantasy?
Of course there is. I recommend you a very good novel called "Nuwa's Postmodern Life." Not only was it a modern urban novel, but it also had supernatural mythological elements.
