Karen Murphy, kind of a jerk

Fair points all.
I didn't take into consideration that, as readers, we get the whole story. Where Murph is only given half the story.

It dose make quite a considrible difference when viewed in that light. In all, Harry has been fighting most of his life to try and keep Murph out of harm's way, which inadvertly put her in more danger. I beleive the say goes, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

PilgrimDan:
A lot could have been avoided if Harry had the sense not to protect Murphy against her will, and in denial of her agency as an adult and a cop. Also, explaining “It’s a wizard thing, I can’t talk about it and they will kill me if I do. And then they will kill you.” would have gone a long way to establishing a greater degree of trust, if not improving Murph’s temper.

I can imagine the dialogue going something like this:
Murphy: “I’m a cop, Dresden, I can protect myself.”
Harry: “Not against this. They will blind side you. You won’t see them coming.”
And then Murphy would have enough knowledge to decide for herself. It’s made fairly clear in the series that it’s Harry’s gynocentrism that gets on her wick, and justly so.

b4utoo:
I thought she was pretty cool with all the "follow" "follow" lol but when Harry was going through it about the loss of his "sometimes apprentice" and she just hits him...yeah total dick move...like really a piece of paper links Harry to the death! Give me a break.

morriswalters:
Considering that she was written to be an antagonist in Fool Moon what did you expect? It's only in book 3 that Jim decides to make her a protagonist.
