An interview with Erika @ Badass Book Reviews regarding Ghost Story, by Jim Butcher.
Question: So, Erika, tell me -- was Ghost Story worth the wait?--
~ Yes. and No. Ghost Story starts off right where Changes left off. Harry has taken a bullet to the chest, sloshed off into the lake, and we are with his spirit. In Harry's mind, it's been an hour or so, but in real time --Harry has been dead for six months--.

God I love Harry Dresden. I read Changes (the previous book) almost two years ago and that book just gutted me. I seriously had to emotionally recover from that book before I could move on in the story. I was worried but this book didn't disappoint. Basically, Harry's dead and he's a ghost and he has to find who killed him. But in the process he re-evaluates his life and sees that his actions had serious consequences for the people around him.
