Ghost Story Book Club - Chapters 46-FINISH **MAJOR SPOILERS**
Vikermac:
Rawlins definitely not, unless it was a brief cameo of him responding to something. If any of the WC were going to show up, sure, Eb would be logical but without them in the story, it makes sense we still wouldn't see him. But you are right about Malcolm and even Margaret LaFey. I mean, what with all the ghosts and afterlife talk of this one, I thought for sure we'd at least hear something from the parents. Especially since Harry got to talk to his Dad back in DB.

I thought we'd see the Grey Council/Eb. I was hoping we'd see Lara. Other than them (and Lash), I didn't have any other characters I thought we'd see.

It was odd that we did not see or hear of Ebenezer McCoy. Considering that he dropped a satellite on the last people to mess with Dresden, I would have expected him to be on a major vendetta against whoever might be responsible for murdering Dresden. Given that Kincaid pulled the trigger (even at Harry's request), I wonder why McCoy wasn't after Kincaid. Only explanation I can come up with is that McCoy quietly investigated, found out everything somehow (including that Dresden's body was being kept alive), and decided his involvement was not required.

I think McCoy has to have his hands tied by the Council and maybe trying to prevent Molly from being hunted as much. I mean, I'm sure he was royally pissed at whoever killed Harry, but he also knew how upset Harry was over the choices he was forced to make. Maybe he knew that Harry was going to find a way out of Mab's grips, and while he didn't agree with them, he accepted them.

Not possible. The White Council can only enforce the laws of magic, so at best they could prevent McCoy from killing the person with magic (but not with conventional means). But in McCoy's case, they cannot even do that, since he is the Blackstaff.
