Don't know. Harry said that Glau was killed on purpose, so I assumed she was too:
--- Quote ---“Glau was barely conscious when it grabbed him,” I said. “It was probably me or Madrigal who was feeling the most tension, but it took out Glau, specifically.”
“You think someone sent it for Glau?”
“I think it’s a reasonable conclusion.”
Thomas frowned. “Why would anyone do that?”
“To shut him up,” I said. “I think Madrigal was supposed to go down for these attacks, at least in front of the supernatural communities. Maybe Glau was in on it. Maybe Glau arranged for Madrigal to be here.”
“Or maybe the Scarecrow went after Glau because he was wounded and separate from the rest of us. It might have been a coincidence.”
“Possible,” I allowed. “But my gut says it wasn’t. Glau was their cutout man. They killed him to cover their trail.”

And that quote:
--- Quote ---The two girls went on by, none the wiser, and even Molly only frowned at them and then back at me for a second, her face tilted into an expression of silent inquiry.
--- End quote ---
I can see Jim grinning writing it.
Edit: I suppose there was a version of the plan where Madrigal took the fall, and no one would ever blame Mab for it. Madrigal could open a Way in a place of linked fear, connected to a place of fear in the Nevernever. Harry sends back the phages, and unfortunately they go to Artis Tor with Molly. Poor Mab is completely innocent. Harry goes to Artis Tor anyway.
The problem is that Madrigal is such a loser, nobody believes he's the bad guy.

--- End quote ---
Yes. But that's quite dangerous:
--- Quote ---I lunged for a potted plant near me and threw up.
--- End quote ---
That may have been Maeve. ;D
Elegast:
--- Quote from: Griffyn612 on May 09, 2012, 03:55:32 PM ---Why?
Why would Maeve do all of this?
--- End quote ---
Mab send her to make sure her plans would succeed. She put the ward to make sure someone was going to die, so motivating Harry, and make him think that some practitioner was calling the phages. Harry would never assume that a faerie was sending them from the NN, and another putting wards. Too improbable.
--- Quote from: Griffyn612 on May 09, 2012, 03:55:32 PM --- We can say Mab told her to do it, but we don't know what Mab's intentions were.
--- End quote ---
Wrong. We have a WOJ on that:
--- Quote ---Ask yourself why Mab had Molly brought in.
--- End quote ---
She had a plan which included bringing Molly through a redirection spell performed by Harry. That level of details needs to be micromanaged.

No, that plant was poor albert the triffid. he allways gets those roles, poor guy is typecast.
Im just missing a few things:
maeve can look like anyone.
does mab need to be in a building to cast spells? Does maeve?
why not just veil?
Elegast:
--- Quote ---maeve can look like anyone.
--- End quote ---
Yes. And she chose to look like a vampire. Why? She wanted to have fun at the con. Do you think she was going to spend the whole day as a plant, waiting for Mab to send the phages?
--- Quote ---does mab need to be in a building to cast spells? Does maeve?
--- End quote ---
Mab magic is perfect, it does not leak cold. And Harry said "vaguely familiar". Harry had never seen Mab's magic (mind magic, but later).
Maeve plays by the same rule as a wizard.
--- Quote ---why not just veil?
--- End quote ---
Boring, can be spotted, impossible to interact with Harry if necessary. Plus she likes wearing costumes.
