Oh, don't get me wrong... I look forward to seeing her back in action! I just appreciate the break. I can't put my finger on exactly when, but I warmed up to Murphy over the last few books.

As for Morgan, he is obviously a great & dedicated Warden, but he has an unforgiving, bull headed, mean streak, and I just don't like him.

Of course, I wasn't a fan of Murphy's either and that's changed, so I guess my feelings about Morgan may change as well.
Oh, I didn't (get you wrong, that is), my comments are meant to be teasers (for everybody).

Well, you're almost halfway to having to wait till a new one gets written.

I'm all caught up on the Dresden books. It's probably my favorite series (albeit maybe neck and neck with Preston & Child's Pendergast series). I loved Changes. Thought it was a great book and definitely lived up to its name. That being said, I was pretty lukewarm to Ghost Story. In my opinion it is not the high point of the series, although I can appreciate the attempt at something different. However, I am most certainly eagerly awaiting whatever comes next to the world of Dresden and his friends (especially Mouse...Mouse rocks!)

Bob sounds different... Constantly calling Harry "Boss" and being more, perverted, lecherous, and creepy than usual.

No more scary than the Dresden Files. Very similiar in tone without being (IMO) a ripoff or clone in any way.
I just read the first book ('The Devil You Know'), and I find it somewhat darker than the Dresden Files, but indeed quite similar. Thanks for the tip

I decided not to get Ghost Story just yet (Don't make the same mistake I did and read the blurb for this book before finishing Changes, it ruined the ending for me).

Alan, what's your opinion on it, is it imperative that I read it before Cold Days, or do you think I can skip it?

No, don't skip it! Too much stuff is introduced in it. Also read the last story in Side Jobs between Changes and Ghost Story (and not before you finish Changes)!

Yep, after you've read Changes then you can safely read anything in Side Jobs.

May I inquire as to just why you are/were considering skipping Ghost Story?
