    Lucky Thirteen5

    Georgia Lucky Thirteen and counting Ghost Story flabbergasts its readers. Let us be honest after twelve books, the last of which left you speechless, and a collection of no less than eleven short stories one may be sceptical about the outcome of this book. There is no need for worries! Jim Butcher does his magic trick (pun intended) and delivers yet another fabulous Harry Dresden story. It is not a big spoiler that Harry is indeed dead and now he needs to cope with his new status in the supernatural community. If only things were that simple... Harry is sent back to Chicago with the task of finding out who killed him. This story is challenging, intriguing, at points unbelievably cheeky and of course full of action. You never know where you stand. You just keep reading on, because you learn along the way many important things, exactly like Harry does. The trick with this book -more present than any of the previous- is that the reader is sucked into the story from the very first page. Nothing is given and guessing doesn't help either. The suspense is strong and ever present; you can't put this book down! There is a new chapter in Harry's life, i.e. his actions are limited. The energetic hero who stopped at nothing and always tried to save the world is forced to step aside and let others act on his behalf. This development affects Harry deeply and it is dealt by the author with authenticity, realism, compassion and wry humour. You cannot, but empathize with Harry. He learns a lot about himself and of course the reader learns as well a lot about his potential and the width of his determination to reach his goals. Harry is not left without doubt or second-thoughts, still he goes on until the puzzle is finished. This determination is admirable and the reader is not left untouched by it. Ghost Story does not delve exclusively on the psychological aspect of the turn of events. There's action too; actually enough to satisfy everyone. As far as the ending goes well let's just say that you never saw it coming. This is a compelling story, with great characters and strong narrative. by Georgia
