The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle. Now, in Death Masks, Jim Butcher’s smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he can handle…Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are … that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad. Such as:
• A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards…
• Professional hit men using Harry for target practice…
• The missing Shroud of Turin—and the possible involvement of Chicago’s most feared mob boss…
• A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified…
Not to mention the return of Harry’s ex-girlfriend Susan, who’s still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you’re charging.

Butcher’s “Dresden” series is my favorite of all times. I have read them over and over and it is really hard to find their equal. Sorry they couldn’t go on forever.
Definitely action packed and took some unexpected turns. Needed some more Murphy but that’s just cause I love her. This book did hit me hard in the feels though. Better review coming soon.
Awesome read
Love this series. I have always found the characters engaging, and I care if they win, one of my hallmarks of good story telling. Liked the TV series as well, wish they had given it more time to develop.
One of my favorite series and best protagonist. I re read the series every 3 or 4 years.
Outstanding
I love the entire series. Every book as enjoyable as the last. These are classic.
I love all of Jim Butchers Dresden Series!
Always a favorite author of mine… I wish he’d come back with more of this series.
Jim Butcher is the master of urban wizard fiction. I’ve read others but keep coming back to reread the Dresden books.
I am a big fan of Jim Butcher’s writing, and this book did not disappoint. I do highly recommend that you read the series in order, since they are definitely chronological.
Both my husband and I loved the Dresden series- saved all these books – wish he would add more
Very entertaining. I love this series.
Great! Loved that it wasn’t another freaking romance novelist trying to cash in on fantasy. Guess it is best typed as urban fantasy with classical roots.
Loved this Series. Loved main hero and all of his buddies.
Great read!
Hanging out with Dresden is always a good time. I love how each book is it’s own entity, but the consequences remain and pop up later. I highly recommend getting into this series.
This series is amazing, fall in love with the Dresden Files today.
Note to Jim Butcher: get back to work. Now. Harry has languished for far too long.
i have read and am trying to collect every book so far in the series. this is one of the series that i started to read and just couldn’t put down. every new book and short story is worth the wait to get!
