To the cops of Chicago do the Alpha's seem like a gang?

Followup question: how does Murphy look to her FBI ex-husband/brother-in-law?

She was booted from the CPD under mysterious circumstances at the same time as a major assault on the local FBI office, followed by the disappearance of Harry Dresden (her known associate and target of a bombing). She's spent about two years openly working with known members of Marcone's organization (whom Dresden is also rumored to work for). As of Skin Game, she's just gotten severely injured during the same week as a massive gun battle at the site of one of Marcone's banks.

Under the circumstances, she looks like a crooked cop who had been on Marcone's payroll for years.

Well, Murphy's ex has a bit of a jerky feel to him; so, he might have thought alot of bad things about Murphy.

A part of the story I feel left a massive hole in the overall series...  Changes really did change everything including what appears to have been an interesting story arch.  It's like the series went from a who done it, to an action movie.

Yeah, I really hope that PT is similar to a murder mysteryy dinner party. There is a body and a roomful of suspects.

Or Clue.

Now I really want to see the last quarter of the book being Dresden hastily reenacting the rest of the book single-handedly.

I loved when Tim Curry did that. I was, also, weirdly attracted to Madeline Kahn's Mrs. White.

I so need to watch that movie again.

[wardenferry419]

Everybody should be required to watch it once a year. It is that good.

[Rasins]

I think the last time I saw it was when it came out in theaters.

1. I do watch Clue once or twice a year. The timing in that movie is incredible. I've referred to it as my favorite comedy a few times, but then I usually remember Animal House.

2. You're right in that someone would have to be motivated to even look for paw prints in the first place. It's unlikely, but I also desperately want short stories about this very thing happening, mostly because I feel the absence of the Alphas heavily.

3. Since Changes, it certainly does feel more actiony. Part of that is the scope of the conflict has dramatically increased; reality is now at stake, rather than just Chicago. Skin Game was different, with reduced stakes, and felt more personal, but nearly every scene devolved into a fight sequence. I enjoy it, because I like the mechanical stuff, but I do miss the mystery aspect. Peace Talks and Mirror, Mirror are unlikely to be small-scale mysteries, but I think Fight Night (or whatever it is truly called) will be a more straightforward, noir-style whodunnit.
