Summary

In Chicago, someone has been killing practitioners of magic, those incapable of becoming full-fledged wizards. Shockingly, all the evidence points to Harry Dresden's half brother, Thomas, as the murderer. Determined to clear his sibling's name, Harry uncovers a conspiracy within the White Council of Wizards that threatens not only him, but his nearest and dearest, too.

Critic reviews

“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)

enjoyable listen

really enjoyed that one. Good work at build the backstory and using people throughout the journey without making it dark. Alway great to listen to James Marsters tell the story.

Harry Dresden is the best hero ever

I think this is my 4th time reading/listening to this book/series and I still love it. It's masterfully read by Mr Marsters who transports you and carries you along with Harry. You hear his internal commentary, his self doubt, his fear and his wisdom first hand. I find myself trying to be more like Harry in the real world-he is a moral compass to be followed. The story is extremely entertaining in and of itself but those jems of advice and insight that Harry frequently tells us about are all too applicable in the real world. Jim Butcher is a genius and I'm very grateful that he has decided to share this genius with the world via this series. I really hope he finished out the series though. The waiting for each book is torture

Another fantastic ride

having listened to the full series to this point I would be amiss if I did not admit I am addicted.
I listen when driving mostly and find myself craving my journey to and from work and become giddy if I am tasked with a job that means I have to travel to a different site.

The combination of Jim's writing and James' reading is truly a perfect blend.
I cannot recommend a series more than The Dresden Files!!

Well written, well read

As a female of over 60 who likes real literature, I find these fantasy books very good listening. The prose is well written, the story has internal consistency, the characters develop and have a life, and the narration is absolutely excellent as well as being just right for the story.

Comfortably familiar

The ninth book in the series, and it's still not getting old.

When I return each time to this series for the next instalment, James Marsters' voice as Harry Dresden, is like reconnecting with an old friend. Harry's character is consistent from the start of this series. He's dangerous, stroppy, determined, and just generally an all round good bloke. There's enough new stuff happening with each book to stop it being even remotely samey.

The magic and the supernatural world created in this series all stack easily, without being completely in-your-face or over the top. It just works. Whenever I have a long haul flight ahead of me I always have the next Dresden instalment downloaded and ready to go - it's like taking a good friend along for the journey and they're guaranteed to be good company.
