Summary
Chicago wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden is used to mysterious clients with long hair and legs up to here. But when it turns out the long hair covers every square inch of his latest client's body, and the legs contribute to a nine-foot height, even the redoubtable detective realizes he's treading new ground. Strength of a River in His Shoulders is one of the legendary forest people, a bigfoot, and he has a problem that only Harry can solve. His son, Irwin, is a scion, the child of a supernatural creature and a human. He's a good kid, but the extraordinary strength of his magical aura has a way of attracting trouble.
In the three novellas that make up Working for Bigfoot, collected together here for the first time, listeners encounter Dresden at different points in his storied career and in Irwin's life. As a middle schooler in B Is for Bigfoot, Irwin attracts the unwelcome attention of a pair of bullying brothers who are more than they seem, and, when Harry steps in, it turns out they have a mystical guardian of their own. At a fancy private high school in I Was a Teenage Bigfoot, Harry is called in when Irwin grows ill for the first time, and it's not just a case of mono. Finally, Irwin is all grown up - and has a grown up's typical problems - as a freshman in college in Bigfoot on Campus, or would if "typical" included vampires.
New York Times best seller Jim Butcher explores the responsibilities of fatherhood and the difficulties of growing up with the elements Dresden Files fans crave - detection, adventure, humor, and magic.

consummate storytelling and narration
James Master smashes it again with his reliably excellent voice acting. Jim Butcher proves he's as skilled in short form as he is in long, with Dresden's characteristic dry wit and penchant for getting in too deep wholly present.
These stories stand alone without any prior knowledge of the Dresden universe, but the experience is definitely enriched and all the inside jokes caught if you're a long time Dresden fan.

Brilliant as usual
I find these stories hard to stop listening to, part due to the clever writing that makes all the characters believable, but also due to the narrator who brings the story to life.

A must-have if you've read the other books!
Any additional comments?
I was having withdrawals from listening to the last three Dresden books in one go! So I was very pleased to happen across this book! Although it left me wanting more (still!), I'd recommend it if you enjoy the other stories!

Another Excellent adventure for Dresden
Wizards, bigfoot, magic, mystery and good old fashioned Western style knuckle n gun fights. Another brilliant Harry Dresden case file wonderfully read, brought to life, by James Masters.

captivating
Another Jim Butcher masterclass in fantasy writing. The subject matter keeps within the realms of Harry Dresden without impacting on the storyline. As usual the story finishes with a flourish and you're left both sated and wanting another rush.
Each Dresden story is a journey that fills your body with the glow of time well spent.

We loved it!
The narration is acerbically cynical, and yet believably human and humorous. The short stories are amusingly anecdotal to the series, but developed and varied. Dresden is, as ever, compassionate, strangely courteous, and witty, while also being wise, irritating and wizardly too.
