We don’t need character development, we need battle scenes and when Harry at last finds some love we need to have her killed as soon as possible with much blood and loud fireworks. Especially when she is so bloody minded to have her own opinion about things and worst of all about Harry.
Won’t happen. It is clear that Karen is here to stay. Mirror Mirror is not about parallel worlds, it is all about the wedding dress. They want to marry but Harry’s knighthood is complicating things and Harry wants Uriel to officiate the marriage. Molly and Mab have their own ideas about the whole affair and it gets terribly complicated.

I don't want her to die, but at the same time for years one of the main reasons he fans love her is she is a strong vanilla character. Michael is too, but he has had the help of the Almighty and a Holy Sword. As a normal biologically speaking vanilla human, Murphy is going to get older, at forty unless you are a wizard you begin to lose a step or two, you don't heal as fast as you did. Who knows age may have been a factor in how badly Nic was able to beat her up. That might not have happened to the Murphy of five years ago. I quite liked her as a cop, but since she has been off the force Jim has struggled to find the right slot for her. Nobody seems to like the idea of the middle aged Murphy getting older, so suddenly her fans are bringing forth all these supernatural solutions for her to continue as the rock um sock um Murphy who pulls Harry's chestnuts out of the fire. Fine, but as I said, then she is no longer Murphy. If that is what everyone wants, fine, or let her go out in a blaze of glory and remain, Murphy.

People get older and they adapt, they change. Sometimes illness or other health problems accelerate that but it is there for all of us. I want to read how she adapts because she is not just an action doll you first tear a leg off and then throw into the garbage bin. She is also, as we have seen in Ghost Story, a leading figure in the paranet which is going to play some role in the next two books.

No, she is not, we haven't heard much about her paranet role since Ghost Story.

That is because we did not hear that much about the paranet period. There is no reason to believe she is not involved anymore, that we probably would have heard.
Similarly she must have some sort of job or source of income, we did not hear about that either. We will probably hear something about it in the next two books.
