Book Review – Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher (2007)

Book 8 of The Dresden Files

Harry Dresden is what Harry Potter would be in 20 years after immigrating to Chicago and becoming a private investigator. Dresden is a wise-ass PI who protects the world (or at least the Midwest) from things that go bump in the night. Each novel is self-contained and could be read as a one off, but to get the full depth and background you’ll have to go in for the whole series. Or at least watch the DVD set from the too-soon-cancelled “Dresden Files” which aired on SciFi in 2007. In Proven Guilty, Dresden must accept his new position as a Warden of the White Council (the governing body of wizards) while balancing his loyalty to his friend Michael. The battle that ensues is epic. With each novel the Dresden character becomes a little more flushed out. Seeing as I’m already half way done with the next book I’m pretty sure I recommend not only Proven Guilty, but all of Butcher’s Dresden series.

I’m Mike D and I approve this message.
