Dead Beat by Jim Butcher is another fantastic edition to the Dresden series.
In this installment we see Dresden racing across Chicago to save Murphy's life and career from being destroyed by evil Mavra whilst he battles crazed necromancers and bigoted white council wardens.
I loved how both Butters and Thomas came into their own much more in this book than they had previously. Butters goes from being the rational yet terrified little Polka obsessed medical examiner to a hero (ish). Thomas' relationship with his brother is also developed far more and makes for interesting reading.
But let's be honest - we're all reading it for the ghosts, zombies, magic, fist fights and Dresden himself. And this edition doesn't skimp on any of it! The main action scenes toward the end are simply astonishing. This is one of Butcher's strongest tore de force's yet! Really is well worth a couple of days to race through.
And who doesn't love Sue?!
Wonderfully enjoyable urban fantasy - well worth a read!
(This could be read as a stand alone novel but I would suggest reading the other 6 novels first to really understand the Dresden universe) :)
