Publisher's summary

When an unknown someone shoots him and leaves him to die, Harry Dresden hopes he might be heading to a better place. Unfortunately being dead doesn't make Harry's life any easier.

Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on - a feat that would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death.

Now the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic - or face an eternity as just another lost soul....

AUDIBLE makes Fans #1

Any additional comments?

WOW! I liked this book. it was missing James Marsters but hey what are the chances that he would redo a book already done? and would I be willing to buy a book again. Audible impressed me with a yes and a no. It was redone and it was a thank you gift. now that is unheard of customer care. THANK YOU!

James Marsters is irreplaceable

Even though this audiobook has already been published with an experienced, skilled narrator, and that narration is OK, I chose to repurchase this Ghost Story because I enjoy James Marsters narration. I've enjoyed his work even when I had to buy them on CD. He is after all the voice of Harry Dresden, so it seemed pleasant to have this title in his voice.

But WOW!!

I had taken James Marsters skill for granted. I had not realized his ability to give a voice to such a broad range of characters, a voice which reflects the personality of the characters as each is written, and still voice an intelligent sense of the ridiculous even in the darkest parts of the story. Of course Jim Butcher had to write these characters clearly enough to give Mr. Marsters the material to work with, and Ghost Story is a pivotal novel in the Harry Dresden story, but even with material as good as this, the other narrator did not bring it to life the way James Marsters has. John Glover did a good job, its just that James Marsters is brilliant, and the contrast is amazing.

Sorry, gushing here, about the narrator, because the book has already been thoroughly reviewed. So if you've waited to listen to the audiobook until James Marsters could read it, good move. If you have already listened to the other narrator, its worth a credit or the cash to purchase this one too.

James, you were missed!

First, thank you Audible for correcting a wrong that took place years ago.

James, you are the voice of Dresden. You were very much missed the first time this book was released. It was very much worth the second listen with you back at the helm. I hope you are the narrator for all future Dresden Files novels. As you saw with this book, I am not the only person that agrees! Heck, Audible (or whomever owns the rights to the audible version) felt they had to replace a four year old book; with two newer novels in between even! That is how important you are to this series. Thank you for your time, sir!

Also, thank you, Mr Butcher, for writing such damn good books for James to read.

Worth reading till the end

This book will leave you wishing that time travel was possible in the wizard world. It makes you also think about the decision that were made and if you could do it over would you. This book is like a right of passage and one worth going through.

Great Ride

Anything compared to book 12 is gonna be a little underwhelming but hang in there and you won’t regret it. This one gets a little bizarre. And lost my attention a few time but it is building to something. Jim more than made up for it with the ending on this one.

Marsters fantastic

As always. I tried to switch gears and read the book (vs listen) and I so missed the narration I had to stop and get the audible version. Marsters’ narration is next level stuff. Like listening to a movie or a radio play. Can’t imagine “reading” Dresden Files without him.

Thank you for re-recording with James Marsters

Any additional comments?

Thank you so much for re-recording this with James Marsters. It's like the book was missing from the series without him. I'm very happy to reread them all and complete the set so far with this James Marsters version.

Excellent book

Sie book, excellent be, Harry Dresden journey does, mystery be. Meet long lost, discover does, truths unknown quite interesting the tale. Oh what you will find in this, what you will find indeed ; )

Finally!!!

Fixed the only thing wrong with the series! I thought about doing a kickstarter to get this done a while back. Thanks audible!

Fantastic

This was a change from early books and has new twists and turns like none of the other books. loved it!
