"I can't," she said. (Spoilers for Peace Talks and Cold Case)

He asks her if she arranged the murder of the Summer Knight. After he calls her on her evasions, her reply is: "I can't just give you that kind of information, Wizard Dresden. It's too powerful." She explains: "It means that if you want me to answer that question, you're going to have to pay for it. What is the answer worth to you?"

However by that time Mab was 99.999% Fae, with just a touch of humanity that surfaces once in a while against her will. No doubt there are rules and she will bargain, but that wasn't what Molly was doing. She wasn't trying to make a deal with Harry, she is just trying to get up the courage to come clean with her parents.

That was Maeve. For all we know she was already lying.

Maeve acts bound by Fae behavior through all this book. Posdible but unlikely.
She even acts Fae at McAnally's- "drop the evil kinktress act and we'll talk" can be construed *as a bargain* that lets "real" Maeve out.

Depends on wether she was already infected. She would be mostly Behave Fae but keeping information to help nemesis would have been in character.
peregrine:
Remember what Uriel whispered in Harry's ear in response to what Mab said. They cannot lie, but that doesn't mean they can't be wrong. Or narrow minded in their perception about their options. Or imposing their own perceptions on other people's actions. Or possibly even lying to themselves (see Jim's AMA from a few years ago).
