It's been a while since I've read them, but you can pretty much just skip the first two books if you want. Other than a few references/characters (that Butcher typically explains/introduces again anyway) I don't really think there's a whole lot of overarching plot introduced yet in those two.

Unfortunately-and I say “unfortunately” because it’s my least favorite of the books—I think book 2 has some important character background that comes back in the two most recent installments. Probably not anything you couldn’t get from context but it helps.
