Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

Grave Peril (Dresden Files, #3) ('Dark' Carpathian)

by Jim Butcher

Wizard for hire Harry Dresden gets mixed-up with the dead in this “haunting, fantastical novel”(Publishers Weekly) in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Harry Dresden’s faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. It comes with the territory, when you’re the only professional wizard in the Chicago area phone book.

But in all Harry’s years of supernatural sleuthing, he’s never faced anything like this: the spirit world’s gone postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble—and not just of the door-slamming, boo-shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly. Someone—or something—is purposely stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. But why? And why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry? If Harry doesn’t figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself...

My first Dresden audiobook. I can see why Marsden gets the love from the fans. He really does bring Harry to life.

Not my fav in this book: Susan, Michael, or the Susan-Harry climax. (Full-body cringe. Twice.) (But at least a proposal sparked a war instead of a wedding.) I’m glad I read book #15 first; the relationships were handled much better, which tells me I should keep reading to see how Butcher gets there.
