Light reading in a dark series. The Dresden Files are formulaic, but fun anyway. This third book in the series illustrates the adept way Jim Butcher weaves together the various well-researched myths of a particular category of the supernatural: in this case, ghosts and vampires. He tends to deal with the huge variety of mythology for any given monster by having types within the category. Then he weaves all of the types into the mystery as clues and red herrings. Harry's story also unfolds, adding another dimension to the suspense and puzzlement. Things don't always work out well for our anti-hero in black.
Ghoulishly delightful!
