About this listen

Jim Butcher’s breakthrough #1 New York Times bestseller starring Chicago’s only professional wizard, Harry Dresden.

When it comes to the magical ruling body known as the White Council, Harry is thought of as either a black sheep or a sacrificial lamb. And none hold him in more disdain than Morgan, a veteran Warden with a grudge against anyone who bends the rules. But now, Morgan is in trouble. He’s been accused of cold-blooded murder—a crime with only one, final punishment.

He’s on the run, wanting his name cleared, and he needs someone with a knack for backing the underdog. So it’s up to Harry to uncover a traitor within the Council, keep Morgan under wraps, and avoid coming under scrutiny himself. And a single mistake may cost someone his head.

Critic reviews

Praise for the Dresden Files

“Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”—Midwest Book Review

“Superlative.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”—Cinescape

“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”—Booklist (starred review)

“What’s not to like about this series?...It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”—SF Site

“A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”—Library Journal

“What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of [the Dresden Files].”—The Washington Times

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this book, but only if you've read/listened to the previous books.

This is definitely more of the same - it has geered up since the original few books, meaning that it's lost personal, low power intrigue but has gained in exchange a certain epic-ness and depth.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Turn Coat?

James Masters voice, though out the whole thing! Unfortunatly details are impossible without spoilers!

More of the same!

When Morgan is accused of the crime of killing a senior member of the white council, Dresden - of all people - believes him innocent and decides to find the true killer. To make matters worse, there's a primitive spirit chasing Morgan, and therefore Dresden too.

I am always astonished at how Butcher is able to write such long books without breaking the pace or making me lose my interest. James Marsters does a wonderful job of narrating Dresden - as always - and his voice for Binder is wonderful! The plot is carried through from the previous books and it is just masterfully woven into the black council. The only disappointing bit was that I figured out the killer. Apart from that, this was a great reading and I hope Butcher continues to write this series for a very long time!

Best one in a while I think. Have a sinking suspicion that it'll go downhill into fairy bollocks fairly soon.

That was fun

This is another outstanding addition to The dresden files. It is both clever and gripping.

Simply brilliant
