No, Mab doesn't start the boost until after they return from the island and go to Mac's. Before that, the only thing Murphy does is get the drop on Freydis at Chateau Wraith. That was a nice move, but it was mostly skill and underestimation that allowed her to pull it off. Karrin starts getting the boost when they leave Mac's and even then, she mostly rides her bike. No running, no fighting hand to hand, just some pain tolerance and the drive to fight.

Murphy comes back in the last act of the last case book?

raidem:
Or, she appears as an already on scene Immortal...Mab via one from alternate reality, past, present or future.  We do have WOJ that Mab can speak with the other Mabs in the multiverse though they really are too busy to bother.

But Einherjar are not considered immortal.. According to Google and I just looked it up.

--- Quote ---The Einherjar are specially honored dead. They are not immortals in the sense that they live forever, but the most honored of spirits who get special treatment in the afterlife. Most religions have such people, like the honored Greek dead who go to Elysium.

Come on guys, this "she can't come back as long as mortals remember her" is a thing Jim made up on the spot to avoid having to bring her back immediately (because he clearly was planning to write out his own personal pain of the last years in the next book and you can't have Harry happy for that). And it's in the series of books where Jim himself has said that Harry will have broken all the laws of magic by the end of the series. If Jim wanted Murphy out of the series permanently, he wouldn't have built in this backdoor.

Originally I was going to formulate my question more along the lines of "Harry is stated to break all the rules of magic during the runtime of the series, what is preventing him from also breaking this new, just made-up, rule?", but then I realized that I was denying Murphy her agency with this line of questioning. I'm pretty happy with the answer I got from Jim.
