false 91479 7 Harry Dresden is not having a good day. A vampire named Ortega is hunting the beleaguered wizard, intending to challenge him to a duel that, Ortega claims, will end the war between the vampires and the wizards. Harry has almost no hope of winning the duel, but soon he is preoccupied by another problem: Father Vincent, a priest, needs Harry's help in finding the Shroud of Turin, stolen by a trio of thieves. Harry traces two of the thieves to his hometown, Chicago, but when he finds them, he learns that he isn't the only one after them. A group of terrifying demons wants the shroud, and its leader is interested in Harry's soul, too. Harry must call on all of his friends, including three brave knights, his police-officer friend, and even his half-vampire ex-girlfriend, Susan. Butcher maintains a breakneck pace in Harry's exciting fifth adventure. This imaginative series continues to surprise and delight with its inventiveness and sympathetic hero. 2183 book 5 8 2003 Death Masks (The Dresden Files, #5) total:4457|5:1702|4:1959|3:751|2:42|1:3| 4457 18686 5753 201 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 5 3 true Fri Mar 27 07:45:25 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 05 19:10:14 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 27 07:45:25 -0700 2009
When you are reading a series and then reviewing each book in the series, it can be difficult to come up with something new to say on the subject.

I thought I had stumbled onto a fun series for geeks. Wizard-slash-sleuth Harry Dresden is a great character. Half his charm is that he's got old fashioned chivalry to a fault; he's a real sucker for a damsel in distress, and treats lades like ladies, no matter how unpopular i...more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 4 1 false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 09:36:51 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 09:47:42 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 4 0 false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 27 06:19:15 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 06:19:38 -0800 2009 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 4 0 false Thu Jul 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 13:40:15 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 23 15:55:51 -0700 2009 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 3 0 false Sat Sep 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 14:10:06 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 05:28:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 4 0 false Mon May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 00:11:28 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 11:32:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 346090 184149402X 9781841494029 48 8 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173926526m/346090.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/346090.Death_Masks 5 0 false Mon Jun 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 10:38:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 12:17:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 5 0 true Mon Dec 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 13:29:03 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 05:33:42 -0800 2008 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 5 0 false Mon Feb 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 22 17:05:58 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 18:46:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 3 0 false Mon Nov 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 02 20:59:41 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 02 21:03:04 -0800 2009 more...]]> 91479 0451459407 9780451459404 4398 190 4.19 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1221336382m/91479.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91479.Death_Masks 4 0 false Thu Apr 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 19:43:55 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 13:14:29 -0700 2009
