Part way through book 2, I hope the series gets better? I'm about to quit where I am. Murphy is pissing me off right now. She is way to unstable and emotional to be a police Lieutenant. And don't get me started on Dresden. He's acting like a putz.

I can't stand the "drama" between him and Murphy, her "finding out secrets" and suddenly thinking he's a murderer. If this same plot line happens in book 3, I might have to call it quits.

I so feel you! I just finished the book and came here right away to nag about Murphy! She is SO annoying in the entire book! I can't believe her. And I can't figure out why the hell Dresden always blame himself? It's another annoying thing about book 2... Hope the next book gets better.

I see the frustration in this thread and trust me, I feel all of you-- Murphy in this book might have killed my love of the series if I hadn't actually started on book 8 (oops.) I truly hope you all gave Harry another chance, as things do in fact get much better in book 3, and Murphy gets slightly less obnoxious along the way. There are so many wonderful characters and fun plotlines in this series if you can make it over the hurdle!

Specifically, this was the second book in the series & it seems that Jim Butcher didn't know what direction he intended to go with Murphy & numerous other characters. You can tell because some of them are inconsistent frankly infuriating. It starts to truly level out at book 3 & continues to get substantially better after that. I tend to tell people the first 2 books of this series should not be how you judge this series.

Book 2 is probably the weakest of the entire series. Things get much better starting with book 3.

Yes, I also have teh same feelings and I am halfway through the book. I was appaled that Dresden would sell his name for pieces of information of such lesser case. I don´t understand how it can have a score of 4 and higher, it would probably deserve a 2 or 3

I have returned book two. Couldn't stand plot advancements through stupidity. Is it worth going to book three or four?

I actually liked Murphy.
Dresden is a putz and could have opened his mouth while being led away in handcuffs instead of the "she would never believe me" spiel. Is she your trusted friend or isn't she? She's doing her damn job, Dresden who has information chooses not to share it like a dumbass.
