Synopsis:
Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Reasonable rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment. Harry Dresden is the best and technically the ‘only’ at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal capabilities, they come to him for answers. For the ‘everyday’ world is actually full of strange and magical things – and most of them don’t play well with humans. That’s where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a – well, whatever.

Review:
I can feel nothing but major disappointment over a book that took me the best part of a week to get through and yet was significantly less than 600 pages long. Let’s just say it’s not exactly a gripping read. I was 3/4 way through the bloody thing before anything really started happening and even then, it wasn’t terribly exciting – no page-turner!

Actually, having visited the official site of Jim Butcher, I wish I’d got hold of the talking book instead, as it appears to have been read by James Marsters (who I adore, even though he sounds like he’s putting on an accent when he speaks American, which is weird coz he’s American – I think I just got used to his British accent as Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer – LOL!).

Anyway, having wasted £6.99 on this book, I can’t see me picking up the following six sequels as I was bored from start to finish.

If you want a really well-written, gripping tale of murder, mystery & magick, you’re far better off getting hold of the Rowan Gant Mysteries by M R Sellars.
