Story
Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard PI. Turns out the "everyday" world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. A bargain made with the Queen of Air and Darkness has forced Dresden into a new job: professional killer. His first task is to bring death to an immortal. As if that wasn't hard enough, Dresden learns of a danger to Demonreach, the living island hidden upon Lake Michigan. A danger that could destroy billions and land Dresden in the deepest trouble he has ever known.

Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day. As Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it's something awful. This time, it's worse than that. Mab's involved Harry in a smash-and-grab heist run by one of his most despised enemies, to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure horde in the world - which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the Underworld.

Publisher's Summary
When an unknown someone shoots him and leaves him to die, Harry Dresden hopes he might be heading to a better place. Unfortunately being dead doesn't make Harry's life any easier.
Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on - a feat that would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death.
Now the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic - or face an eternity as just another lost soul....

Worth the Wait
I've read all the books in this series including the on that follows this one. I had to wait until it was redone with the original narrator, James Marsters. I'm rather astounded that producers of audio books do not realise the importance of a narrator and that when they replace one mid series, they what they are doing is the equivalent of a replacing the entire cast in a TV show.
I am pleased that I got to listen to this one as I found the story line well written from a rather unique viewpoint. It's still Harry. He still gets into a heap of trouble and is saved by luck and friends as well as his skills but with the twist of having to operate under the laws of being a ghost.
As always the reader turns the book into a play and we hear our familiar characters come to life again.

Hells Bells! What will Jim think of next?
I mean, where do you go after Changes?
Like Harry, I guess you ask questions:
- What would Dresden’s experience of the afterlife be?
- How would all the rules change if Harry no longer has corporeal form?
- Who is waiting for him on the other side?
- How would his friends cope and develop after he’s gone?
- How would Harry reflect on his life and how would he change?
- Who are the heroes if Dresden can’t be?
- Who is working behind the scenes?
- And of course that all pervading question - How will he get out of this one?!?!
I acknowledge many of the criticisms in some other reviews, but perhaps don’t let them sway you too much - there’s plenty of heart in this one, some great adventures and confounding twists and, most importantly, delicious new ideas and reveals.

Weakest Dresden novel first and second time through.
Read the novels all in a row initially. This was the first one I actually had to wait to be published.
The series is epic, and even this book has some good scenes and important moments. But it was a slog to read the first time, and even with James Marsters definitive turn as Dresden, still took longer than usual to listen to this time around.
Things pick up again though. And I’m looking forward to books 16 and 17.

Jim Butcher continues to teach us about Dresden, to explore his depths and his increasing maturity. Great character development! And this along with a story that you don’t want to stop listening to, bravo! The narrator James Marsters is now Dresden to me and continues with another great performance. Bravo Bellissimo 💐💐💐

Another solid book
If you’ve never read the Dresden files, there’s other books better to start with. It likely if you’re reading this one you’re making your way through the entire series. While it’s not the strongest, and the first quarter is a bit….tedious…push through, it reaches strides further in.
James Marsters continues to do an outstanding job in narration. He has come a huge way since the first book. Amazing.

Best thing I've ever seen a company willingly do
I listened to the previously recorded version and it was okay but Harry and Marsters are just one in the same. That is the Harry you want to spend time with.
When Audible re-recorded the book with James Marsters and then released it to fans for free - that is the most astounding thing I have seen a company / author ever do. Bravo! Way to encourage customer loyalty. This is really walking the talk.

James Marsters is irreplaceable
Even though this audiobook has already been published with an experienced, skilled narrator, and that narration is OK, I chose to repurchase this Ghost Story because I enjoy James Marsters narration. I've enjoyed his work even when I had to buy them on CD. He is after all the voice of Harry Dresden, so it seemed pleasant to have this title in his voice.
But WOW!!
I had taken James Marsters skill for granted. I had not realized his ability to give a voice to such a broad range of characters, a voice which reflects the personality of the characters as each is written, and still voice an intelligent sense of the ridiculous even in the darkest parts of the story. Of course Jim Butcher had to write these characters clearly enough to give Mr. Marsters the material to work with, and Ghost Story is a pivotal novel in the Harry Dresden story, but even with material as good as this, the other narrator did not bring it to life the way James Marsters has. John Glover did a good job, its just that James Marsters is brilliant, and the contrast is amazing.
Sorry, gushing here, about the narrator, because the book has already been thoroughly reviewed. So if you've waited to listen to the audiobook until James Marsters could read it, good move. If you have already listened to the other narrator, its worth a credit or the cash to purchase this one too.

Thanks Audible!
Would you consider the audio edition of Ghost Story to be better than the print version?
Yes. James Marsters adds an additional dimension.
What did you like best about this story?
That James Marsters is the narrator instead of John Glover! Thanks Audible for re-recording this title with JM!
Aside from that, I liked that Harry is more of a detective in this story. Also, he has to deal with what happens to and with his friends in his absence. I didn't see the ending coming, but it totally fit!
Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes...all of his Harry Dresden as well as the Greyfriar trilogy. I personally think that Jim Butcher writes better books. I wouldn't have made it as far as I did with that trilogy if JM weren't the narrator, but that story just wasn't that good and there's only so much that JM could add.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
A number of moments because of what is going on with so many of the Scooby gang.
Any additional comments?
Again, thank you Audible for getting this re-recorded with Jim Marsters. The gaping hole in my collection is now complete!

Ghost Story - now with more substance
I've listened to both this version and the version that Glover narrated, Marsters IS Dresden, hands down. There is just something that he does when narrating this series, the inflection and tone of each phrase. The almost surreal quality that he brings to the table when describing flash backs or supernatural events makes Marsters the master at characterization and personalizing Butchers written word. Glover did well, but Marsters rocked this like a diamond boss. The book itself? Well, Stars and stones! It's DRESDEN! I think that anyone from Sidhe to human would agree that Butcher writes more than "just" contemporary fantasy. Butcher writes pure unadulterated transendentalism. So listen to it, you'll love it and you'll want to read or listen to every single one available.

Ghost Story Resurrected
If you could sum up Ghost Story in three words, what would they be?
Action Packed Emotion
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mortimer, though he's been introduced previously this book really develops his character and he has become a favourite.
Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Marsters *is* Harry Dresden and his performance is excellent as always. Although the previous version by Glover was very good this one maintains consistency with the rest of the series.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Although I've already read the book and listened to the previous audio version the story is full of highs and lows. Sir Stuart in particular has some very moving moments.
Any additional comments?
An excellent book that does a good job of showing the aftermath of Harry Dresden's death.

Worst so far.
This is dull. Spectacularly, inescapably dull. Just a long, unfulfilling tale which made little sense and wasn't really of any interest. If you thought the end of the Vampire War might mean a return to good old fashioned detective work like the first few books then you were horribly wrong. A new enemy emerges suddenly to fill the void.
Ghost!Harry isn't very exciting and his inability to interact with the world didn't help. A lot of this seems contrived and the fact that every character laughs at Dresden's increasing repetitive banter doesn't help.
Oh! And it's 17 hours!! That's got to be one of the longest so far and yet with the lack of plot it could easily have been 7.
Read well by Marsters though.

Great series development
I've been steadily listening through this series and this might be my favourite book yet. Definitely not a book to start in with - but for fans it's a satisfying bit of character development and plot resolution. To me it's more developed than previous Dresden novels, which although I enjoy immensely I wouldn't say they always deliver on really developed characterisation and relationships. Plus James marsters performance continues to be some of the best audiobook reading out there!

If you want original Harry the Wizzard, skip
Hate it! Worst of all the books so far, can hardly get myself to listen.
lacks all of what made all the others interesting...
The book before (changes) was easily one of the best, and now this lame anticlimactic follow up.. might skip this, even skimming through seems not worth

Plenty good enough
a lot of people complain that this feels slow, no action etc.. and they're right.
part of the problem with coming off the back of a book like Changes is that there are a lot of loose ends to tie up, but the conclusion of this book makes it all worthwhile.

Good but not outstanding!
I was really looking forward to the next instalment of the Dresden Files however; this book left me disappointed. The pace is slower, lots of new characters; some of which are hard to follow, and not enough of Murphy.
It was good but it wasn't the best I've read/ listened too.
James Marsters was brilliant as ever!

Exactly what you would expect.
This was a great read. many say it is hard to come woth something good after changes, but i see this as a natural follow up of that book. a continuation. and the fact that you do not know what will happen with Harry at the eng...magnegicent. and after you find out even more so.
I don't want to ramble on, just go read the damn thing.

The sequel of a masterpiece turns out to be a masterpiece itself! Good job, Jim!
