Review of 'Jim Butcher : The Dresden Files : Fool Moon' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Dresden needs to work, but unfortunately he and Murphy are not on the best terms. However, dark magic and evil are always at work somewhere in Chicago and eventually there are supernatural murders in need of explaining. There are paw prints on several crime scenes and Murphy finally wonders whether werewolves are real. And if so, she needs Dresden's help.
What I loved most about this book was the characters' development. We understand why Dresden has trust problems and we learn about the mystery that his mother is. Several good characters help carry the story and I hope to see more of them in future instalments. It is particularly funny when Harry muses on his need to be the knight in shiny armour whilst realising he is surrounded by strong women that do not need knights. The development of Murphy's character is also very satisfying. I'm looking forward know more …

As a side note, I also learnt James Marsters does a beautiful job reading this book - I started reading the book but finished listening to it.
