All round as good as Dresden usually is.
This book has 4 stories already previously released though which did annoy me a fair bit.
The three Bigfoot stories already collected in “working for Bigfoot” and the cold case story from Molly’s point of view as first time working for Mab.
That aside the rest of the stories were still worth listening to imo.
Although no idea how Mouse being a Foo dog... from Asia... has a Russian accent.
But still was fun to hear his point of view.
Enjoyed it, but as I had only just got working for Bigfoot and read it instantly before wish that had been made clear for me as I could have just bought this and not got working for Bigfoot because all of that book is in this one.

A number of short stories, some I had read some new to me.

Loved reading the view point of Molly, Maggie and even Mouse.

Molly is a favourite and. This gave a great view of her now being a fairy princess and how hard it is going to be.

Deaden? What's not to love?

I love the Dresden Files, with Jim Butcher remarking on why he wrote each story and how it expanded the world was fascinating.

awesome and insightful stories

This was certainly a great way to fill in some gaps while we wait. Particular credit for the stories of Molly’s experiences - unexpectedly gut wrenching. The final chapter was a cracker and exceptionally well performed.

A satisfying collection

Great to hear some stories from some of the other characters’ point of view, especially Mouse!!

Excellent

that was wonderful. there were stories that made parts of the books make more sense. as much as I am addicted to James Marsters narrating Harry Dresden, it was actually good to hear other actors voice well-known characters.

What a treat to find stories I didn't know existed

One of two of the stories were a bit weak but in total I had a really fun time.

Pretty good if you're a Dresden Files fan

re-listening to these stories I realised how much the later books in the series moved away from the basic urban fantasy style that formed the earlier books. In Brief Cases the short stories give us that classic style even when Dresden is not in the story. Loved the 3-view narratives of Zoo Day of course. Fun and fabulous.
