From Booklist
Harry Dresden is not having a good day. A vampire named Ortega is hunting the beleaguered wizard, intending to challenge him to a duel that, Ortega claims, will end the war between the vampires and the wizards. Harry has almost no hope of winning the duel, but soon he is preoccupied by another problem: Father Vincent, a priest, needs Harry's help in finding the Shroud of Turin, stolen by a trio of thieves. Harry traces two of the thieves to his hometown, Chicago, but when he finds them, he learns that he isn't the only one after them. A group of terrifying demons wants the shroud, and its leader is interested in Harry's soul, too. Harry must call on all of his friends, including three brave knights, his police-officer friend, and even his half-vampire ex-girlfriend, Susan. Butcher maintains a breakneck pace in Harry's exciting fifth adventure. This imaginative series continues to surprise and delight with its inventiveness and sympathetic hero. Kristine Huntley

It's Harry Dresden's fifth case, and he not only has to fight a Vampire of the Red Court in a life and death duel, but also has to deal with his ex-girlfriend's return to Chicago, the theft of the famous Shroud of Turin, and of course the countless demons trying to get their ugly hands on this powerful magic item - and possibly around Harry's very own neck. With the help of Michael and two other Knights of the Cross, his half-vampiric ex Susan and the highest mafia boss around our wizard hero faces temptation and, ultimately, another apocalypse.
Funny, fast-paced and full of suspense as ever, Harry Dresden's adventures again make for a great read. New characters are introduced (such as "The Archive" or Michael's kids), others (like the hilarious Thomas of the White Court of Vampires) reappear. This time around though, the story seems darker and less cheerful in the end - which makes me itch for the next installment. When can I get my hands on book number 6, please???

"Death Masks" is a pretty good entry into the Dresden Files series. However, one point simply MUST be deducted for the Return of Susan. Harry's lover is back - temporarily - and she's all around wonderful, even more so than previously. She's now superstrong, supersexy, supercapable, a member of a supersecret super-organisation, and what have you. This is getting very dull very fast, plus I simply can't take any more of her oh-so-rich lips and oh-so-sensual body - seriously, I had to start skipping those descriptions. There's no danger, no matter how deadly, which will stop Harry from noting how shaply her legs are. There's an especially bad bit late on where basically they have to spend the night at his apartment and he has to stop her from feeding on him. Now we know that Harry has a summoning circle capable of holding demons in his basement, but of course that wouldn't be as cinematic as his tying her up and then sleeping with her. Yeesh.
For those interested, the book also contains a very small helping of Thomas Raith. He's only in it for a couple of pages but those are about a million times more fun than all of Susan's combined.
Other than that, the plot is sound and interesting, with the usual couple of mistakes - at one point Harry keeps a magic shield going without his bracelet until it overloads and his bracelet WHICH HE DOESN'T HAVE burns him -, some interesting repeat performances and some interesting new characters, too.

Wer die Rezension zu diesem Buch liest, kennt entweder die Reihe schon (Teil Eins "Storm Front", Teil Zwei "Fool's Moon", Teil Drei "Grave Peril", Teil Vier "Summer Knight") und fragt sich, ob auch der fünfte Band den Kauf lohnt, oder er ist zufällig beim Stöbern hier gelandet.
Im zweiten Fall - sofort nach dem ersten Band suchen und ab damit in den Einkaufswagen! =)
Im ersten Fall: Der fünfte Band ist mindestens ebenso genial wie die anderen. Mir kam er noch witziger vor, ohne an Spannung zu verlieren. Die Rahmenhandlung tritt in den Vordergrund, trotzdem ist das Buch in sich abgeschlossen. Wer die anderen Bücher mochte, macht hier nichts falsch. Viel Spaß!
