Opcje zakupu i dodatki
Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the 'everyday' world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in.
A series of apparent suicides rings alarm bells with the police, and Harry is hired. At the first crime scene he hits pay dirt, discovering an unmistakable magical taint. There's also a message especially for him, and it ain't pretty. The 'killings' will continue if Harry can't halt his tormentor, but the evidence implicates his half-brother, which just doesn't add up. Unfortunately Harry's digging around attracts some powerful vampires with a stake in the result. Soon, whichever way he turns, Harry will find himself outnumbered, outclassed and dangerously susceptible to temptation. And if he screws up, his friends will die.
Magic - it can get a guy killed.

That said I have noticed that there is a fair bit of repetition in the books if you read large parts of the series back to back.
The description of Mac's Bar appears in every book in much the same language and with no new information imparted, some of the dialog from the characters is similarly repetitive. All Im gonna say is "Hells Bells"...
I felt the need to point out some of these failings because I really love the characters, and even though Harry's underdog anti-authoritarian diatribe becomes predictable its comfortable in its pique.
I have all the books now from 1-16 and I still look forward to finding out whats in store for each of them as the series, hopefully, continues to develop.
The order of the books and a very brief synopsis of each so if you cant remember which one you last read. As I had to look it up when reading them I thought this might be helpful. Warning this has some spoilers but will try and be bland enough you can just figure out where you have read to.
sorry for only limited links amazon only allows 10
