There were some strong points to the story, especially Battle Ground. But Characters acting out of character and dubious or incoherent plot points all took me out of the story. Rather than being immersed in Dresdens world, I was constantly booted out by the glaring flaws in the storytelling.

Yes, I felt that way in both Peace Talks and Battle Ground. Rudolph for one, did he just go nuts or why would he kill Murphy in cold blood after she saved everyone by killing the giant?

I honestly don't think it was "in cold blood," I think the massive screw-up just screwed up again. I think it was an accidental shot... This is terrible, and ugly, because it means Murph was a casualty of something so damn small. This should play out in an interesting way, but honestly is pretty ugh. I want to see Rudolph scarred by this, don't Dresden's reaction, but his stupid mistake.

Possible, or he has lost it mentally, Rudolph seemed very paranoid, and the Fomor invasion only made it worse. Someone that paranoid with a loaded gun, safety off in his hand was bound to kill someone. Since the focus of his ire was Murphy, she became the target for all of his fears and she died for it.

He was a normal person who was basically confronted with the Supernatural and just cracked up. That doesn't make it any better, but some people just can't handle anything out of "normal"
Cops are an interesting breed too. Some of them are very steeped in the "nitty gritty" I work with cops and I'm in IT and tech and you'd think some of the things I show them or talk to them about IS magic and it's incomprehensible to them. Some are adaptable and just fine, but others - are not.
Unfortunately we've seen this scene played out before in plenty of TV shows and movies where the panicking person with the gun accidentally shoots someone important to the Hero. I saw that coming a mile away when the scene started - unfortunately predictable.

I read Thomas condition as he was brought to the absolute edge and kept there. The demon took over while Thomas died slowly and it just became a bad spiral where if they fed thomas the demon would heal quicker and take up more space than the human part. Basically magical cancer.
