Speculation: What did Mab remove from Harry's memory this time?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yes if it was Eb for Eb to admit it in Battle with Harry, under Harry’s goading. I really think Eb believes he can start over with little Maggie, making the same mistakes all over again and that he is prepared to end Harry to achieve this. Harry anticipated him.

Which leaves us with a real shrug of shoulders, interesting, maybe painful if Harry gets killed and Eb takes over, or in a paragraph or two in Battle Ground they make peace and Eb vows to become a real great grandfather to little Maggie and dies... But still, not a lot of real ground work so we really care. We know Eb hates White Court Vamps, okay, why? Will there be any time at all to go into that in Battle Ground? Will there be any hope that Eb would ever accept Thomas? Or possibly if Thomas is stuck on the island forever, will Eb help Justine raise his great grand child? That is should he survive?

Same :-\
About Little Chicago, I remember hundreds of posts here about it, with many saying that LC has burn and others (like me) saying that Lea probably saved it. But as it has not been mentioned again, I suspect the first group was right and LC does not exist anymore. Which is a shame :'(
The reddit posts made me very sad. I really was hoping there was a reason for the things that seemed wrong.

It is basically, Thomas is accused, he is in bad shape, lets get him to safety.. Which is sad, because Jim showed early on in Storm Front that he can write a very good "who dunnit." Harry is a great truth seeker, that just didn't happen.

I agree, Mira. I would have liked it much more if more investigation happened. In fact, it would have been better if Harry at least asked the questions in his inner monologue, so we as readers realized that he is still a detective :P

Watsonian, Harry didn't have the time to think in depth about who dunnit, he assumes Thomas did indeed do it, as he was caught doing it. His knee jerk reaction is to save him first, ask questions later...

That makes a lot of sense "in universe", but it is far less exciting for us as readers.

Agreed, and in Storm Front he didn't a great deal of time either yet he asked questions, which in turn set up a lot of things for the next few books. Tracking down who the murdered girl worked for led him to Bianca, which set up all that happened in Grave Peril.
The_Sibelis:
If we go with the who dunnit is Eb theory, I feel it makes sense all over. He wasn't being allowed to investigate, he had multiple things he had to juggle and when he still put Thomas first he's attacked by outsiders. I don't think EB summoned then per se, I think his confrontation with Harry ended much the same as his later one but Harry was in the flesh. So he goes back to stop it and the corner hounds follow, new Eb uses it to his advantage to distract Harry. It falls together when you consider someone was actively trying to keep him from asking the right questions. Dang I wish I had more than the audio book... I'm betting Eb distracted him at other times too, but the audio didn't stay as solid in my mind as a real book 😥 much harder to peruse at will.
