About this listen
Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day. As Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it's something awful.
This time, it's worse than that. Mab's involved Harry in a smash-and-grab heist run by one of his most despised enemies, to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure horde in the world - which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
Dresden's always been tricky, but he's going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess - assuming his own allies don't end up killing him before his enemies get the chance....

What made the experience of listening to Skin Game the most enjoyable?
The text. The story. James Marsters, he's Harry.Who was your favorite character and why?
Harry, as usual. The constant struggle within himself, that curiously never gets boring.What does James Marsters bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
As said before he's Harry. He knows how to pull a joke or a punch line. And his voice is perfect for the character. For the people who were used to hear him as Spike it comes as a big surprise, a good one.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Without giving much away, the scene with Maggie is particularly specialAny additional comments?
Read the complete series. If you like the genre, it's the most amazing that was written so far. Can't wait for the next.It never disapoints!

If you could sum up Skin Game in three words, what would they be?
Rollercoaster, fun, excitingWhat did you like best about this story?
Dresden is back to his best in one of the best books in a brilliant series. A few twists and surprises at the end make you look forward to the next book. Hope he gets 'Bob' back soon as the interaction between bob and Dresden is always good fun.Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Listened to all the Dresden books James Marsters has narrated which is all bar one, and all perfect.More quality Dresden

Read by the brilliant James Masters, who puts his considerable acting talent to every page, this book and audio book is a must have for a bit of escapism.
Excellent as usual
