Absolutely gutted by Murphy's death-suppose it will make a good story line for future books but why???? and also hendricks

bigdangmoose:
Because the way she was physically was only going to slow Harry down, example is the shopping cart scene. It isn't in her nature to stand by and let Harry go it alone, as exampled by her not staying put at Mac's. She has only been out of one book the entire series. Jim needed a way to shelve her for awhile or permanently but also give her an out worthwhile of her character.

She is now getting the rest she has earned before being awakened to get ready for the end of days. A lot of us believe she will be back before the end of the trilogy.

Hendricks didn't deserve to die... We need a hendricks microfiction! I wanna know what his thesis was!

--- End quote ---
While it's true that she left the city in the first chapter of Dead Beat, she's been shelved for most of the book several times.

Grave Peril: She's barely in the story because she's put to sleep.
Summer Knight: She gets injured after only showing up a couple of times.
Death Masks: She introduces Harry to Butters, goes on "vacation," and Harry talks to her on a cell phone once.
She's pretty involved in BR and from PG to SmF, then she has a medium sized roll in Turn Coat.

And in many of the books she's been highly involved in, her involvement in the action hasn't been the main thrust of her contributions.

My point is that Jim has repeatedly been able to keep her on the sidelines or out of the action in the past without killing her. He could have done it in future books. Especially if Harry is starting up a serious organization. Murphy could have been extremely useful for helping Harry administrator that. Especially since he has about zero experience running anything larger than a squad.

Sormyst:
Isn't there also something to the admiration that Harry expressed about Lara Raith repeatedly across a number of books? Especially the comments not related to her vampire powers. Seems like a little foreshadowing about a possible future relationship. Especially, with the comments others make about how she treats Harry differently than others - in a weird but positive way i guess
