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

Captivating

Too good for words. I am so invested in this series and whilst this book may not be my fave out of the ones I have read/listened to so far, I would STILL give it 5 stars. Jims imagery is so intense that I can create fully realised characters and scenes in my mind! Love

Still a great story

Just like the other books. A great story, very well read. Filled with everything I expect from a Dresden book suspense, mystery, a bit of gore, magical fights and killing off lots and lots of bad guys.

All Good

If you could sum up Proven Guilty in three words, what would they be?

Action, wit, sarcasm, loving all things Jim Butcher and as for narrator James Masters has ruined me for all other narrators. His adaptation to different characters and quality work have left other narators an anti cliamax, sigh

New Direction

The previous 4 books were independent stories.
New characters and worse demons appeared and the realms of the faeries and the courts were explored along with their nasty, devious queens/kings and knights.
Thomas was a find, although whether he has been an asset is to be given some thought.

Book 8, developed a new plot to open new direction for future books. It again tickles the readers/ listeners to move forward to find out who is manipulating behind the scenes and for what purpose.
Harry is always on a knife edge, lunging in and out of danger. He’s being threatened by all sides.
I love the way he manages to think of something and scrape through to live another day.

phwoar

The further I get into the series, the more and more I want to keep going, I don't know how Jim does it but I just cannot get enough, James also does a hell of a job breathing life into the characters male and female alike, whether its the great writing of just great voicing I'll let you decide on that one.
