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...

Review of 'Fool Moon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I actually enjoyed this book more than the first in the series, though given that the writing style and predominant characters were the same, perhaps my enjoyometer considered this an extension of the book, rather than a whole new one. the events take place some time after those portrayed events, but it still felt like an add-on.

Still, growing familiarity with Dresden and his methods made this one more fun to digest, somehow - though the horror is quite graphic at times. I've enjoyed some werewolf fiction and despised others, but this didn't drone on to the extent that it bored me and was done quite well. the scene in the police station is my favourite, I think, where we get Dresden battling a wolf on the Special Investigations level.
