Publisher's summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a very powerful wizard and a dedicated private eye. He is also a wise cracking trouble magnet. Fueled by a tempest of guilt, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, bad temper and frankly awful personal grooming. Harry is hurtling toward oblivion. According to Harry that is nobody's business but his own.

The Winter Queen of Faerie manipulates him into accepting a case to solve a murder and stop a war between the courts of Summer and Winter that could have literally earth shattering consequences. His own soul is up for grabs. Dresden must dig deep to discover that at time a willingness to accept a little help from your friends, be they a cub pack of werewolves, old loves in sheep's clothing, or a battalion of pizza loving dewdrop fairies, is a very good thing.

best yet

books just keep getting better. I loved the story, and James's performance awes me every time. I will probably listen again at some point.

Only getting better

4th book in and Marsters still can't pronounce 'Runes' correctly. Still, delightful story and performance.

ADDICTIVE!!

Any additional comments?

As far as the Dresden files goes it has been my favorite of the series. The Mr. Marsters is fantastic! He kept me laughing and on the edge of my set waiting to hear what else has about to happen. This story really pulled me in, it was hard to do anything other than listen to this book. A wonderful series for anyone that likes the mistery and feel of the old time "gumshoe" detective story.

Great Story

Any additional comments?

Hard to really compare this to another book. Maybe Robert Parker's Spencer as a wizard set in Chicago (or some other mystical destination) v.s. Boston. Very well done and very entertaining. Excellent characters and story line.

Marsters best performance yet!

The narration in this book is Marsters' best yet. He has embraced the role of Dresden. Gone is the bored tone that plagued the first book. Glad I stuck around for this one.

Best Dresden tale yet

His writing gets better with each book -- this one is an enthralling tale that will carry you into a landscape that glitters, tingles, and glamours. His story also stands as an excellent mystery whodunit plot -- you'll likely never see the solution coming!

Great book, Ok performance

Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with the reader as much as I do the editing of the thing. There is at least one moment where a sentence is completely repeated, and there are more smaller errors. Sometimes his pronunciation is off too.

Great book though.
