About this listen
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.

Is James Marsters bored?
I love the story, don't get me wrong, but the effort from James Marsters isn't what I expected. I feel like he's whispering his lines in places and theres no effort put in when the character is supposed to be yelling something. the recording isn't great either. Too much swallowing and other mouth noise.

the start of the series...
...and it shows. The potential is there, but greatness awaits.
This is almost the stereotypical neo noir P.I. thriller, but then you throw in magic. It's Dirty Harry (Potter)

A promising series
Storm Front tells the tale of Harry Dresden who is Wizard struggling to make ends meet. With his rent due a a secretive client sets off a serious of events that ends up in a fight for his life.
Jim Butcher places the world of fantasy and wizards smack bang into modern America and melds into seamlessly into the Gumshoe detective genre. He delivers a great narrative and some very interesting and engaging characters that drive the story along at a comfortable pace.
So if you are looking for something that is off the trodden path yet still very entertaining then look no further. The Dresden Files has moved up my list of must read series.

Brilliant!
Loved this story - good pacing, always something interesting happening. The bad guy's dialogue was probably the only real disappointment. Narration was so cool and casual I could listen to it all day long. I'll definitely be working my way through the rest of the Dresden Files. My only regret is taking so long to get around to it!

Excellent
I waited so long to listen to this book, and I loved it! James marsters starts out a bit clunky but improves-apparently he gets better in the next books too. He has an easy voice to listen to and doesn’t give the women whiny high pitched voices!
Humorous and deep with action towards the end.
