Publisher's summary

The White Council of Wizards has drafted Harry Dresden as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumors of black magic in Chicago. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in the Windy City, but it's all in a day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob.

Critic reviews

"One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.” (Cinescape)

“Butcher...spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot." (Booklist)

Who wants to go to Comic-con

In Proven Guilty Dresden has to figure out the mystery of why horror movie monsters are coming to life. The monsters themselves show how brillant Jim Butcher here. The monsters themselves are thinly vieled versions of horror movie greats that you already know.

*spoiler* There is a scene starring a character having to go through the trial that Harry has been subjected to. This is a real eye opener as it explains part of Dresden's personality.

I love the Dresden files

I have read many science fiction and fantasy novels over the years and the Dresden files have become my favorite. This is my third run through the series and it is just as enjoyable as the first.

Enjoy

If you're reading this, I'm guessing that you're well familiar with this series. If only we could convince Mr. Butcher to continue writing this world forever.

Anyhow, this book is a good look into Dresden'o motivations, and how families that may look perfect are still individuals at their core.

Enjoy. You're in good company.

Well, my company, at least.

Knight in shining fire!!

What can i say. Proven Guilty has harry coming to the rescue of a beautiful princess. Well, sort of. This book was once again fun and exciting, non stop action and suspense. The series itself just keeps getting better and for me has caught up to the the iron druid chronicles for pure entertainment value and surpassed it in just about every other way. The story has branched out in all directions and we are left with a zillion possibilities as to how harry and his friends will move forward. Im looking forward to the next step in the story and if the trend continues each one will continue to gain momentum and quality. Go Harry!!
