Harry Dresden’s investigation of a grisly double murder pulls him into the darkest depths of magical Chicago in the first dramatized audiobook in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series!

As a professional wizard, Harry Dresden knows firsthand that the “everyday” world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most of them don’t play well with humans. And those that do enjoy playing with humans far too much. He also knows he’s the best at what he does. Technically, he’s the only at what he does. But even though Harry is the only game in town, business—to put it mildly—stinks.

So when the Chicago P.D. bring him in to consult on a double homicide committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name...

Great follow-up to the audio books

I'm a fan of the audio books with James Marsters, and I enjoy full-cast audio adaptations, when done right. I've been disappointed in the over acting in some previous GA adaptations, but for the most part they've avoided that in this one. The central characters are well portrayed, and although some of the secondary female characters can go a bit far in the femme fatale direction, there's no denying there are strong sexual overtones in the original novels, so that can be overlooked.

Harry is just as much of a likeable wise ass as always, and the adaptation is very clever at keeping his narration intact. When there's an action scene and he has to do some explaining in the midst of it, the background audio is either faded under his thoughts, or there's sometimes a clever sound effect that subtly suggests the action is going into show motion while we are in Harry's head. In all, the writing and sound editing are excellent and well thought-out. I'll be getting the rest of the series if and when it comes out!

Perfect casting!

I love the Harry Dresden series. I've consumed it in in physical, digital, and audio many times over. This dramatized adaptation is absolutely stellar. From the musical score to the voice acting, it's just perfect. The way it brings the world to life is spectacular. I'm really excited to see what graphic audio does with the rest of the series. I'll be snatching these up as soon as they're available.

Wonderful way to revisit a classic

Love this book and series. Great way to revisit a favorite. Great cast and production. Feels like an old school radio show.

forgot how great thos book is

huge fan of the Dresden Files. i haven't read the first one in about a decade, and this was an excellent way to re-experience the story. A bit of a mystery novel. a bit of an urban fantasy. highly recommend if that's your cuppa tea

A good production, though James Marsters is a touch act to follow

Honestly, if all they did was have James Marsters come to reprise his role as the voice of Harry Dresden, this would be a 5 star review across the board. The book itself is great, but James has always been the voice of Harr ly, to me, and he has only gotten better as time goes on. If Graphic Audio could convince him to come voice Harry for them, this would basically be the best Audiobook version of any series ever.
