    About this ebook

    Wenn es um den Weißen Rat geht, kommen Harry sofort Gedanken wie schwarzes Schaf oder Opferlamm in den Sinn, und niemand schafft es, Dresden mit mehr Geringschätzung zu behandeln als Morgan, ein Wächter-Veteran, der einen Groll gegen jeden hegt, der die Regeln bricht.
    Doch diesmal steckt Morgan in ernsthaften Schwierigkeiten. Er wird eines kaltblütigen Mordes beschuldigt - eines Verbrechens, für das es nur eine finale Strafe gibt.

    Nun ist Morgan auf der Flucht und versucht, seinen Namen reinzuwaschen. Hierzu benötigt er einen echten Underdog - jemanden wie Harry, der für ihn den Verräter im Rat ausfindig macht und dabei selbst nicht unter Verdacht gerät. Andernfalls könnte es jemandes Kopf kosten, und dieser Jemand könnte Dresden selbst sein.

      Turn Coat blew me away. I've always liked The Dresden Files, always enjoyed each book, but this one just left me gasping and holding my hand to my heart for the last thirty pages or so. Often when a book does that it feels like so many bad things are happening, nothing is going the way I or the main character want it to, and I'm left feeling disappointed, but Turn Coat didn't leave me feeling like that at all. It was as if Butcher was sitting next to me saying "come with me on this, I promise, it's for the good of the story" and it was. I really enjoyed this and I'm very much looking forward to whatever happens next.
    • 4/5
      [Cross-posted to Knite Writes]I really enjoyed this installment of the series.Butcher brings together numerous supernatural forces from past books in this one, and they all collide in new, interesting, and complex ways that will inevitably reflect on later plot points in later books. I love how Butcher has been gradually increasing the number of forces involved in the plots since Book One instead of just having each book focused on one force at a time. This tactic allows Butcher to craft very unique plot lines that keep characters from past books relevant and developing throughout the series.With this book, I like how the emphasis finally returned to the White Council. They’ve been in the background throughout a lot of the series, only coming to the forefront at certain times. This book delved into the inner workings of the Council in a way that none of the previous books have, and it gave a new dimension to Harry’s views on the Council, as well as the inevitability of certain events involving the Council in subsequent books.I also enjoyed how Butcher changes the dynamics of character relationships in this one. There are major shifts in how certain characters interact in this book, and I like that Butcher doesn’t let any particular relationship stagnate. The characters’ personalities change and develop over time, and their relationships do as well. It’s a great way to prevent any particular character/relationship elements from becoming dull in such a long series.Finally, like usual, I enjoyed the complex foreshadowing and setups for the sequels. Butcher has always included a level of foreshadowing that a lot of writers don’t, and in this book, the clues pointed toward world-changing events to come. This book did a great job setting up the impending conflicts between numerous major forces in the Dresden Verse, and I can’t wait to see how they all collide throughout the rest of the series.Yet again, another great Dresden Files novel!

      I have a major crush on Harry Dresden so Jim Butcher can do no wrong with these books.

      I love his mix of real world and supernatural, the various beasties he creates are brilliant.

      It was obvious that Morgan was not going to be the murderer and that of course Harry would help and protect him. I liked the fact that Morgan didn't have a change of personality and that he still felt that Molly should have been executed although in the end he does protect her by not telling the white council about Molly poking about in Luccio's head. I did have my suspicions about the character who would eventually be revealed as the traitor when he first appears in the story, just didn't trust him.

      My only real complaint about this story is that during his time in Edinburgh, my home city Harry didn't pay me a visit.

      Now for the next book.
    • 5/5
      Another fantastic entry to the series. The traitor to the White Council is finally revealed, and Dresden faces his most powerful enemy yet...the skinwalker. I couldn't put this one down.
    • 4/5
      Woof. I enjoyed it, but guessed at the real killer midway through... though tbh the REAL mastermind behind the scenes still hasn't been revealed, so I dunno. Good pacing, brought together the wizard and vampire elements, but man, does Harry need a hug after this one.
    • 4/5
      Hefty dose of White Council politics, always my favorite thing in a Dresden novel. Pretty heartbreaking book in a lot of ways, too — as much as Harry tries to control every aspect of his life, it's becoming more and more clear that he can't.
    • 3/5
      Not his best. More of a whodunnit, and it was kind of obvious from the moment the character entered the story...
    • 4/5
      I keep getting more and more obsessed with this series. They just keep getting better! The plots, dialogue, characters, everything! Harry Dresden is legit my biggest fictional crush. What a gem. I accidentally read this book AFTER reading book twelve, but honestly it really didn't change a thing or mess anything up. There was a surprise character death in this one that I didn't see coming, but honestly with the way it played out, I wasn't even mad. It's nice to see Molly getting some more page time, she's becoming a pretty solid apprentice (even when she screws up!). This series does not disappoint and I can't wait to get my hand on the next one!
    • 5/5
      Turn Coat by Jim Butcher is the 11th book in the Fantasy series The Dresden Files. Somehow this series remains strong even after so many volumes. Which is not a bad thing considering that this is one of my favorite series. But back to the book. Harry manages to get himself in the middle of the biggest possible mess (again) when Morgan (yes, the same Morgan that was always around to chop Harry's head if he missteps) shows up on his door, hiding from he White Council. In case you had not read the novels or cannot make the connection - Morgan IS the White Council in some ways. But this time he is convicted for killing another member of the White Council - and not just any one of them but a Senior member. And Harry decides to help (which is not surprising - this is Harry after all). The White Court shows up a lot, working with Harry for a change and almost everyone tries to figure out who had framed Morgan. the rest just want to find and execute him. By the end of the book, the Black Council is still a secret (and most of the big guys still claim that there is no such thing as a Black Council... so some other ones start thinking about a Grey one...), a major character in the book dies, another one is so changed that in some ways is better to be dead and the Blue Beetle is still up and running - even if it spends most of the book towed by the police. So now starts the big waiting for the next book....
    • 4/5
      This is a return to an older style of Harry--a little more investigative, and little less non-stop action. This story entagles Harry a little more firmly in the wizarding world than he has been up to this point. Until now, other wizards were side characters who were generally used to make Harry sneakier about whatever it is he needs to do. While the same case can definately be made in the book, it also started to flesh them out a bit more in their own right and instead of being the main foils, politics actually are, and by the end of the book, it looks like Harry has finally decided that his responsibilities extend beyond Chicago.
    • 4/5
      In round 11 of the Harry Dresden series we get Dresden vs. Skinwalker...the crowd goes wild! he, he.Amazingly Butcher has managed to turn out another fresh story of this wonderful urban fantasy series. Here we get to see Harry return a bit to his investigative roots, using them to find a traitor on the White Counsel who has framed Morgan for the murder of a fellow wizard. The problem is that this turn coat has managed to enlist some really heavy hitting supernatural power, primarily in the form of the legendary Skinwalker.I thought that this book dealt out an even darker plot and resolution than the rest of the series. This led an edge that had me worrying that some of my favorite characters might not come out of it alive. It certainly makes for suspenseful reading! Now that I've caught up on the series I'm now doomed to wait around with everyone else for the next epic Dresden tale, I hope it doesn't take too long :-)
    • 5/5
      Harry Dresden is still going strong. In fact, I think it's getting even better - or maybe it's just my addiction to this series.
    • 3/5
      So, my re-read of the Dresden books is now taking me into new territory, the ones I didn't read before. Still, it's Harry and the gang, so it's a curious mixture of new things and old familiar.  This one had a few more surprises than the last couple, all the long and careful worldbuilding is finally coming out to play, things going all the way back to the first couple of books becoming significant. Again we lost characters, but Harry also gained allies (I suspect they were always his allies, but now it's more open.)  Jim Butcher has certainly come a long way since those first couple of books, the writing is tight, the pacing is relentless, and he's got a full crew of characters operating true to themselves in a world that is so internally consistent it feels real, and I keep looking around for pixies every time I have pizza. I do worry a little about the next book. There's an air of "Harry is the saviour" and "oh look at all the things he can do, and he doesn't know he's not supposed to be able to" and while Butcher's been doing a good job keeping Harry from power-explosion DBZ style, there's also always been a questioning disbelieving and even disapproving presence in the background. And now that presence is gone, and Harry really needs someone who questions him, because he's reached the point where he's been doing so well, if he starts believing his own hype he's going to overstep. Or maybe that's the point. Personally, I hope someone else takes over that role, although I'm not sure who at this point would make sense to. Luccio maybe. Also, NOT HAPPY about Thoe-mass. NOT ONE BIT!
    • 5/5
      Yet another exciting and complicated entry in the Dresden Files. When Morgan, the warden who spent a good portion of Harry's life shadowing him, waiting for Harry to slip up and go to the dark side, shows up at Harry's door, badly wounded with wardens after him, Harry can help feeling sympathy for Morgan. Especially once he's heard that Morgan's been accused of murdering a member of the wizarding world's highest authority, the White Council.Knowing that Morgan, the most annoyingly righteous rule-follower he's ever met, could never knowingly murder anyone, let alone a superior, Harry immediately suspects a black magic conspiracy. Now all he has to do is prove it.This one is violent and scary - Harry runs into a shapeshifter, who's powers are so overwhelming it's all Harry can do to escape. A couple of people aren't quite so lucky. The twists and turns are at times hard to follow, but they all make sense in the end. Harry is awesome - an incredible wizard with quick wit and always armed with sarcasm. He can be my hero anytime...
    • 5/5
      This entire series has been quirky and fun. Fast paced and humorous. Sometimes serious. It started out light-hearted, and slowly but surely has gotten more and more complex. Butcher did a great job of drawing one in, and has done a great job of incorporating past stories and characters into new and bigger story arcs.

      This book was awesome about bringing in not just the major story arc that has been taking place over several books, but little bits and pieces that didn't seem to have any major impact in past books. Not a whole lot of series can say that they haven't degraded over the course of 11 books, but this one may have actually gotten better, if you're into big, deep arcs (if you like the fluffy fun of the first few books, that is most definitely gone). Fortunately there are still fun quirks through the book, so the story still has the same definite flavor the Dresden Files has had since the beginning.

      Also stars for Listens-to-Wind's fight with the skinwalker, and Mouse, 'cause Mouse is just awesome.

      And as a total aside, I want to have James Masters's storytelling babies. He is a phenomenal reader.
    • 5/5
      Harry continues his in and out relationship with the White Council - when Morgan shows up wounded on his doorstep seeking sanctuary from the wardens that have badly injured him as he is escaping from their custody for a crime he didn't commit. The White Council's normaly summary justice - execution - is turing back on one of its main executors.The action continues as Harry tries to work out the truth of the situation and who he can trust whilst fighting again a foe that is massively more powerful than him and possibly more powerful than anything else he has faced, including a Faerie Queen.The excitement continues to build with a massive showdown where planning and smart activity wins the day rather than direct confrontation, although there is plenty of that too.And whilst this book, for a while, feels like it's coming to an end of the series there is at least one more in there.
    • 5/5
      Another outstanding Harry Dresden novel from Mr. Butcher.In it, Warden Morgan staggers to Harry's doorstep, on the lam and terribly wounded. The White council thinks he's a criminal ... but he claims otherwise, and Harry believes him.Like most of the Dresden books, this is a super-quick read. At first I found myself annoyed with it, tired of certain tropes which Butcher repeatedly abuses in the series. His characters tend to be a bit too cutesy, answers a bit too pat. After a few pages, however, I found myself caught up in the adventure and my objections flew out the window. 'Turn Coat' provides readers with a bit more insight into the drama unfolding in the White council, which offers some hints as to how the series might shape itself over the next nine books. In addition to that, Harry has to deal with a big, bad, megamonster straight out of Native American mythology. And it's got half a brain! The conflicts with that one are fun to read about.The end offers high drama as well, with a deliciously climactic scene of the type Butcher is so handly adept at. A satisfying ending, I felt, and a reasonable wrapping up (as much as possible) of events.Kudos to Butcher for another fine job done
    • 5/5
      Book 11. Just think of it. Jim Butcher has written eleven books in The Dresden Files, and according to him, this is only halfway. Not too many authors are skilled enough to create a series that's so immersive, much as less be lucky enough to keep the series going on strong up to its tenth release. It's hard to believe sometimes that The Dresden Files is his first series, with Book One being his debut title. I was getting worried for awhile as I felt that the series peaked with Dead Beat, as the following three novels were not as dense, nor quite as engaging, as the seventh book (come on! he rode a freaking Tyrannosaurs Rex!) but I'm happy to say that Turn Coat was a long page turner that kept me up past midnight until I reached the last page.What can I say? After reaching the halfway mark it seems that Butcher is finally hitting us with full force (Fozare!) and definitely not pulling any of his punches on his characters as the series reaches a point of consequence with so much change happening to several of the principle characters. In addition, we're finally given something concrete that has always been treated as a shadowy side note until now, The Black Council.My only frustration is that I'll probably have to wait another year for the next book in the series to be released. Ugh... I can't wait that long!
    • 5/5
      Once Again, Jim Butcher gives us a novel full of twists and turns, mortal peril and sarcastic humor. Answering some questions, and giving us more to think about, this novel of the Dresden files is on par with the rest of them. The only thing wrong is that I now have to wait a year or more to read the next one. Thank you, Jim, for making me cry for a character who i didn't even like.
    • 4/5
      The conspiracy deepens. My favourite Dresden Files for a couple of books.
    • 4/5
      This was a better than average episode in the Dresden Files. In Turncoat, Jim Butcher does a good job of merging supernatural adventure with a classic espionage – infused murder mystery. The usual characters appear including wizards, vampires, and various and sundry other critters. I heard a lot of good things about Turncoat before I started to read it, and I'm sorry to say that in all honesty, I didn't think this book didn't quite live up to the hype. I thought the identity of the main villain, -which had been hidden in murder mystery style- was easy to guess at, and that, once again, Harry Dresden's fat was pulled out of the fire just a little too easily. Now, having said that, I also freely admit that I tend to be very, very, very picky about genre stuff.Anyway, this book is a solid read. I enjoyed the action and liked the continuing political development, especially as it related to the White Council of wizards, and Jim Butcher did win me over at the end, not so much because of the way he handled the final conflict but because of the bittersweet qualities he brought to the dénouement. The power in the ending of turncoat is that Dresden's victory is shaky and laced with defeat.As with all the books since deadbeat, the writing is pretty good, the characters have some depth. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who likes fantasy and, of course, anyone who likes the Dresden Files.
    • 5/5
      Not one of my favorites in the series, but still 5 stars!
    • 4/5
      Dresden is once again dragged into the intriques of the white council with the his own life as well of the the lives of most of his friends in the balance. A very quick and enjoyable read and as always hard to put down.
    • 4/5
      Book 11 of the Harry Dresden series. Lots of good action, I figured out the turn coat fairly early on, but he does a masterful job of keeping the characters and situations piling up. Harry Dresden, wizard and Warden, opens the door one morning to find his Warden nemesis, Morgan, half dead on the doorstep, asking for his help. This is the person who has hounded Harry most of his life - and he's asking for help. He's clearly in bad shape, and the White Council of wizards is looking for him in connection with the death of one of the Council members. Harry gets help from his apprentice, Molly, his dog Mouse, the police detective Murphy, the pixie Toot, and misc. other friends. An enjoyable book - but not one of the top members of this series, which sets the bar very high, indeed. I give it 4 stars out of 5.
    • 4/5
      Harry is really playing in the big leagues now. It's amazing to remember where he was in the first book, Storm Front and compare him to where he is now. And who he is. He's changed a lot. I love watching a character grow. Usually when a series goes on this long, it tends to lose steam, but Butcher has done the opposite. Each book is usually just as good or better than its previous volume. There are a lot of major turning points in this volume, and lots of expected and unexpended twists. At one point while I was reading, I thought "hey, I bet this guy is the traitor". Then I forgot all about him as Butcher took me for a spin only to find later that my thought was correct. But Butcher does distraction really well. Anyways, great action here, new insight for some characters, moral and ethical dilemmas and some great lines. Can't wait for more.
    • 4/5
      This book is a strong entry into the Dresden series, with an involving plot and a great deal of action to satisfy readers. However, much of the book seemed to be taken up in laying foundation for future stories, rather than focusing on this one. There is a great deal of material in this book that will be used for other episodes in the series, but that interferes somewhat with the enjoyment of this one.If one can get past this seeding for the future of the series, and the lack of satisfaction in answering many questions brought up in the book, it is a generally good read.
    • 5/5
      The Dresden File novels by Jim Butcher continue to be one of my favorite series. They’re simply fun to read and his stories are engaging, entertaining and action-packed.Turn Coat is no exception. Butcher presents his readers with a solid murder-mystery thriller where Dresden has only 48 hours to find the killer of a Senior White Council member before Warden Morgan is falsely accused and killed in retribution. His aiding Morgan endangers himself and his apprentice. Dresden’s vampire brother Thomas gets involved which increases friction with the White Court. Add a Native American boogie man, the Naagloshii which is semi-omnipotent, and you have a story that you simply can’t put down.This series gets better with each new book. Butcher’s skill as a writer continually improves. This story was rich in detail and the pace was consistent throughout. He’s willing to take some chances in offending fans of the series as he kills off some characters and significantly changes others. His use of language is also becoming more creative with phrases like “night wasn’t falling so much as sharpening its claws.” He also pays homage to Agatha Christie in having Dresden mention that he’s having “a perfect Hercule Poirot moment” as he unveils the killer in front of the entire White Council.This was another great installment in the Dresden series. It makes me wish they’d bring the TV series back.
    • 5/5
      The one person in the entire world who has always treated you with absolute disdain shows up at your door broken, bleeding, and begging for help. For most, a day isn't going to get much worse than that. For Harry Dresden, it is just the beginning. This novel, like the others in the series, is full of twists and turns, unexpected betrayals, even more unexpected alliances, with more than a touch of the supernatural thrown in. Old favorites return, and finally we get an actual glance at the Black Council. Excellent read. I cannot praise Jim Butcher enough. He never fails to make me both laugh and cry.

      A wounded Warden Morgan shows up at Dresden's apartment, asking for protection since he's been framed for a murder and it's up to Dresden and his friends to figure out who tells the truth. Another great installment in the series with lots of great action scenes and a proper mystery to solve. And it features the most powerful and scary skinwalker I've ever encountered in fiction - and we'll probably see more of it since it gets away. Mouse is, as always, a great character, and Molly Carpenter gets to be properly useful in her own right, which is excellent - the grasshopper is catching up! James Marsters is a great reader for this series and the audiobooks are, thus, highly recommended.
