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.

need more to really critique

The author is a great story teller. I know this is one of (if not the beginning of) his first works. Looking forward to reading more and seeing if his writing talents develop. I've heard great things about this series. Hoping it pays off.

I want more.

Story was good but the narrator was fantastic. I would definitely listen to any book he narrates. I would get another book by Butcher.

ok to pass the time

It is an ok book to pass the time. The reading is a little dry. All in all was worth the credit.

Supernatural Fun

A story about a wizard who works as a paranormal investigator for anyone that has a problem. These books have a formula that goes like this; harry gets into something in over his head because of his desire to help people, then he gets involved in an even greater mystery, which leads to lots of future trouble for him. Throughout the book Harry is the underdog that consistently manages to out think and our maneuver opponents that are far stronger than he is. Very good entertainment.
