The inspiration for the Sci Fi channel television series

I thought it was corny and the character of Murphy unbelievable. Not my cuppa tea. Sorry.
I saw part of one of the TV shows and thought it was different. So I figured the book would be even better but no such luck.

I fervently recommend reading this series from the start as Butcher keeps developing his characters and keeps them appealing. At least go back to Summer Knight (The Dresden Files, Book 4) and read from there. I liked the previous book in the series Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8).
Spoiler warning if you plot to read Proven Guilty don’t proceed.
Harry has Molly as his apprentice and she is a real handful as she is very powerful, has power issues, and wants to help. This leads to some humor when she veils herself (becomes invisible) to follow Harry to a crime scene. There is humor throughout the book which has very well done characters and a very excellent plot. I was unsure about the flash back to New Mexico but it establishes Harry’s rage management problems.
Some inconsistencies between this and the previous book and some internal inconsistencies and errors in fact keep this from being an brilliant example of books of its kind. They aren’t a huge deal but annoying. For instance depleted Uranium (U-238) is not radioactive, but it does retain a tiny amount of radioactivity. But is is pyrophoric and toxic. In a breeder reactor it becomes plutonium 239 the preferred bomb material. It is used in sailboat keels and airliner flaps because it is several times denser than lead.
Another example is that there is no such thing as a heavy assult rummage though today. Most assult rifles are 5.56 (.223 cal) or 7.62×39 Russian. The Gallel is 7.62 NATO. All relatively light calibers. The Barrett is .50 cal which is heavy indeed but its a sniper’s rummage though.
Overall just fleeting of brilliant as an outstanding exemplar of the genre. It has a excellent convoluted plot with lots of Vampire politics involved. Finally we see some of the folks who have been using the White Council and Harry in particular along with persons around him as cats paws.

Another hit in the Dresden Files. Where does it stop? Jim Butcher gets better and better. I could not place this book down, because the action was as quick as you expect it in these series and the humor was right there where you needed it. The reader gets to know Molly a bit better and her talents renovate during the book. But Harry stays alone and lonely. I am looking forwards to the next book. Will Harry find his soul mate?

Being a witch myself I just like Harry. He is amusing and romantic and heroic in this one and all my favorite characters are in it. I cannot wait until the next book comes out. I am also very thankful that most of the time my being a witch is not as treacherous. White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9)
