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.

Rollicking first adventure
I've read (and enjoyed) several of the books in Jim Butcher's Dresden series, and I rather enjoy the sound of James Masters' voice, so it seemed like a sure bet to get hold of an audiobook that combined the two.
The three stars on performance are because there are some issues with the reading - stilted delivery in places, sections read more like a grocery list than a piece of prose, and some moments of flatness in the delivery.
That said, a quick search online shows that this was Masters' first foray into audiobooks, so I'm happy to chalk these things up to first-timer related issues and am looking forward to seeing how things might improve as I make my way through the Dresden series, all of which have been narrated by Masters.

Jim Butcher is a master of fantasy
Loved hearing James Marsters reading this book. It’s definitely made housework more enjoyable, and made my day go quicker

Glad I persevered
I was a bit put off by the breathing of the narrator but I persevered and now all those sound make me feel like I’m actually listening to Harry telling me his story. Storyline was great too

Cool story world
I think I’d like this just a bit more if it wasn’t dripping in such “written by a man” energy for the first few chapters. I don’t really need to hear about how sexy the dead women look, but other than that a great listen

Interesting creation
Overall this book was pretty enjoyable, it integrated and explained this mixed world that included wizard. It was fairly well-paced and interesting.
The one thing that I disliked about this book was that with the introduction of every single female character he had to mention their appearance, and whether or not they were attractive and feminine and the tone the performer used was very off putting and uncomfortable.
