The Dresden Files Book 11 : Turn Coat

The Dresden Files Book 11 : Turn Coat Overview

          The search for a traitor in the highest circles of power forms the main plot thread of Butcher's 11th hard-boiled fantasy novel featuring Chicago's wizard detective Harry Dresden (last seen in 2008's Small Favor). Harry, a warden of the magic-governing White Council, finds himself in an unusual position when Morgan, his fellow warden and frequent antagonist, asks for his help. One of the White Council's leaders has been murdered, and Morgan was found at the scene of the crime holding the murder weapon. If he has been framed, then another senior wizard is behind the killing and may be trying to destroy the council entirely. Aided by werewolf and vampire allies, Dresden investigates with his trademark sardonic noir flair. Despite the sprawling plot, both fans and newcomers will get into the fast-paced action. (Apr.)

The Dresden Files Book 11 : Turn Coat Review

Turn Coat by Jim Butcher

Harry Dresden is a tall man dealing with narrow minded people who happen to have annoyingly powerful magic. Harry as always is dealing with insurmountable problems with numerically superior forces intent on harming kith and kin. In true Lewis Carrol style, Harry finds himself down the rabbit hole defending an implacable foe for unlikely reasons.

Repeating what I have written in previous reviews of Jim Butcher, Butcher causes Harry to question his value system in each and every book. Soul searching seems to be a hallmark. Insurmountable odds and monumental tasks are also in each book. In spite of a similar formula, I have really enjoyed each book. Why would you ever get tired of deep, rich, yummy chocolate cake anymore than you would the Dresden Files. Harry's emotional fragility in his personal relationships and his inability to recognize how much he is respected contribute to his likeability. You see a slow maturation of Harry Dresden as the series proceeds. I highly recommend the entire series.

Butcher's use of current but often obscure vernacular within Harry's dialogue always elicits a laugh.

I've mentioned my preferences for emotionally provocative writing. Butcher's portrayal of loyalty and perseverance against all odds is always laudable. Harry Dresden lives his life by the Golden Rule and it serves him well. Molly, his apprentice, shows growth in this book and Harry as well. Mouse, Toot, Murphy, Will and Georgia display the same courage and convictions we have seen in previous stories.

I highly recommend it.
