Interesting set up for a new story arc - By: tybalt-quin, 26 Jun 2007 
It's an entertaining plot with a somewhat hokey central hook. I was happier with the characterisation of some of the secondary characters & am hopeful for the new ones that we meet. This is clearly a set up for the next story arc & whilst I have some concerns about the way Butcher is handling that, I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Getting better all the time - By: , 24 Mar 2006 
The Harry Dresden series is an undiscovered gem at the moment. The books were until recently only available in the US, & it took a while for the public to catch on to this cool, smart PI/practising wizard who risks fates much, much worse than death to save us poor oblivious mortals.
With the Dresden Files about to become a TV show, now is your chance to catch up with the first few books in the series. Each one is darker & more complex, & in Death Masks we see Harry (a non-believer) forced to help the Church recover the stolen Shroud of Turin, meeting new monsters & new friends along the way.
one of the most underrated writers - By: , 07 Mar 2004 Yes, Jim Butcher writes books you just can't put down!
Every book is so good, you just want to know how it ends, so you keep on reading & reading & when you finallly come to the end, you look at the clock & it's 5 a.m. But it's definately worth the hours of sleep that you are going to miss,. Just buy this!!
An Excellent Addition to the Series. - By: K. Griffin, 09 Sep 2003 Typical of most of the Dresden Files this book is a non-stop page turner. The best thing is that Jim Butcher is improving in his craft. In comparison to his first two novels, which were a little awkward, the plot twists & characterisations in 'Death Masks' are markedly improved. The especiallly nice to see.
Another enjoyable aspect is that Dresden's actions have long term consequences; the war with the Red Court is a reaction to a minor scene in the first book & there is definitely a major future plot point that is set up in the last pages of this book. Jim Butcher handles this much better than most other authors.
