We're about halfway through the Dresden Files and things are getting more complicated for Harry by the year.
When Murphy contacts Harry about a string of suspicious suicides, he realizes something chilling - every one of the women was a hedge mage. A supernatural threat and women in trouble is more than enough to put Harry on the case, but solving it will involve family ties, old enemies, and even older flames.
After a slight slump in the last two books, White Night is back on form (not that it had far to go) with an intertwined plot, one-liners, and constant action and twists. Many of my favorite characters return, the White Court gets some more screen time when Thomas becomes key to solving the mystery, and Harry makes several choices that I think will be important to the plot of future books.
The only major complaint I have about the book is that the finale is a bit confusing, with a lot going on in a very short time space, and I had to read a couple of chapters twice to keep it in my head what was going on. This kept it from being as exciting as it could have been.
Overall, not my favorite book in the series but yet another solid entry with something for most fans.
