2007: #18 – Fool Moon (Jim Butcher)

Book #18 was Fool Moon, the 2nd book in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files. The back of the book reads:

Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn’t been able to dredge up any kind of work—magical or mundane.

But just when it looks like he can’t afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.

A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses—and the first two don’t count…

I’m enjoying this series. This book was a little more violent than the first, and I was surprised at some of the characters that were affected. I’m not sure I get all of Murphy’s reactions to Dresden, but it all kind of works out in the end.
