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.

Summer and climate change

I have listened to this book many times. The mix of laughter, complex detective investigation and magic makes it a great book.

Multiple listen

Just finished listening to this again because my daughter is now finally old enough to listen and the other stories I am following pale in comparison. One of the best series you will ever hear.

Marsters is a Master

aside from being a wonderful book from an incredible series, James Marsters really understands the characters and themes of the book and puts his all into performing every line.

Harry Dresden never sounded better

I anxiously await the arrival of my monthly credit (I'm a cheap bastard) so I can get my next fix of Harry Dresden as read by James Marsters. Each book is a masterful performance! #Orphans #SelfDiscovery #Gritty #Magical #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Decent!

This is the first one I'd say I actually enjoyed. The noir element of it is softened compared to the previous volumes, and Dresden is a bit less abrasive. I found myself smiling a number of times.
