Brief Cases by Jim Butcher is a collection of short stories featuring characters from his Harry Dresden series. The stories focus on episodes that happen around the edges of the series novels. They provide a bit of back ground filler and flesh out (give the narrative role to) some of the side characters. As always Butcher provides interesting plot and intriguing characters, whether it’s Big Foot’s son or the coroner turned Knight of the Sword.
I would recommend this book to anyone. I think the stories work even if you’re not already familiar with the Dresden world, though, as a big fan of Butcher’s Dresden series, I would recommend you work your way through that series too.
