Wizard for hire Harry Dresden gets mixed-up with the dead in this “haunting, fantastical novel”(Publishers Weekly) in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.Harry Dresden’s faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. It comes with the territory, when you’re the only professional wizard in the Chicago area phone book.But in all … Chicago area phone book.
But in all Harry’s years of supernatural sleuthing, he’s never faced anything like this: the spirit world’s gone postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble—and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly. Someone—or something—is purposely stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. But why? And why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry? If Harry doesn’t figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself…

I love Jim Butcher’s magical world and cynical wizard Harry Dresden who gets involved in complex situations that he just has to meddle in. I hghly recommend Jim’s entire series. He has another marvelous series “Codex Alera” which is NOT about wizards exactly but still has magical talents involved.
I have re-read the entire Dresden series at least 3 times – love it
It’s Jim Butcher. It’s Harry Dresden. What more needs to be said?
Great book the series just keeps getting better.
Love this series
I found Harry Dresden some time ago and thought “Here’s someone I would like to know”. Even without magic he would be fun. Mouse is great. And all of the characters come to life. Until maybe they don’t
All of Jim’s books are non stop reads. I love his characters and the way they interact. I always imagine Nathan Fillian as Harry.
Great fun to read
I am a huge fan of Jim Butcher and the Dresden files series!
I absolutely love Harry Dresden! He is so quirky, yet a much needed character in the world of books. I have all of Jim Butcher’s books. Each time I read or reread one of his books, he makes me root for the normal man. The one that is not only smart but street smart.
Lived the series. Urban fantasy at its best
One of my favorite authors. Attention getting, great characters, full of humor. Have read them all!
I’m a big Harry Dresden fan and this is one of the better books. It’s still Harry pretty early in his career, but Butcher invests a lot of effort in keeping his series sequentially logical. I already owned the paperback and still bought the Kindle edition so I can carry it around with me. I have to really like a book to do that.
if you like a good who done it with a twist of ( why the hell) did I get and or what the…. oh and he is a Wizard!
When reading these books I really feel like Harry Potter changed his name and move to Chicago. Dresden can never seem to stay out of trouble and each book is a standalone read. However I do recommend starting with the first book
It’s a Dresden book – enough said!
Dresden rocks.
All of this author’s books are great reads. The reader is totally drawn into another world and held there. I am always left wanting more.
Love Harry
Jim Butcher is like goosebumps but for adults!!!
