Publisher's summary

My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. I'm a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as I know, I'm the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country. You can find me in the yellow pages, under Wizards. Believe it or not, I'm the only one there.

With rent past due and a decent meal becoming an issue of some importance, Harry needs work, and soon. A call from a distraught wife, and another from Lt. Murphy of the Chicago PD Special Investigation Unit makes Harry believe things are looking up, but they are about to get worse, much worse. Someone is harnessing immense supernatural forces to commit a series of grisly murders. Someone has violated the first law of magic: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Tracking that someone takes Harry into the dangerous underbelly of Chicago, from mobsters to vampires, while he himself is under suspicion of the crimes.

A great twist of reality and magic.

A Harry Pottery with adult content - if you will. Not too much to be a pornographic HBO series, but adult content with taste, some sex appeal, but not overdone. Enough magic to take you out of reality, yet still seem real. With descriptive words that bring the words right out of the book and into your imagination with clear vision. The book flows well and doesn't get dull. The readers voice is perfect for the character. If your into this sort of genre it will not disappoint!

Witty and entertaining

I liked this story well enough to move onto the next book in the series. Dresden is a likable enough guy and I am hoping the next books reveal more of what seems to be an interesting history.

Great Story and Great Narrator

I loved the story and loved the narrator. If you enjoy stories about wizards, magic, and other supernatural things you should like this.
The narrator did a fantastic job, perfect match for this book.

James Marsters

The vocal range on the guy never ceases to amaze me... Oh and great introduction to a world of magic, especially that it did not do it as an origin story.

On My Favorites List

Harry Dresden is Harry Potter for grown ups. The narrator's voice is well rounded- funny, smart, snarky and with enough intentional flaws and shortcomings to make him a believable character. Jim Butcher is an author that has inspired me for years.

Enjoy the story

Good story
Lots of heavy breathing by narrator during reading Not sure if it was intentional but got a bit annoying. I started to focus too much on the breathing
