Turn Coat<\/a><\/em> (2009) Jim Butcher<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Harry’s idea that he might get some down time is (unsurprisingly) thrown awry when Morgan–yes, the Morgan who has spent his recent years waiting for Harry to screw up so he can kill him–shows up at Harry’s house in bad shape and asking Harry to hide him from the Wardens. Harry, being who he is, of course shelters Morgan, and risks not just his life, but the life of anyone with whom he works as well.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Harry, he pretty much gets all his friends involved–a situation like the previous book, which doesn’t bode well for anyone.<\/p>\n

The main mystery is trying to discover who are the members of the Black Council, and who has set up Morgan to take a fall. Unfortunately, such a discovery is going to cost Harry a lot–possibly more than he can afford. <\/p>\n

But aside from discovering the members of the Black Council, there are several other revelations made, few of which are good news for Harry.<\/p>\n

Harry is continuing to mature, and is a very different man from the one we met at the start of the series. He is also one who is (deservedly or not) developing a reputation. I continue to like Harry, and even more like how he is developing through the series. <\/p>\n

One thing I especially did not like, was that this book was published as one of those extra tall paperbacks. I do not like them, and they make me want to not buy books published in that format.
