I also thought Carlos was a bit too far back to normal given how hostile things left off between him and Harry at the end of the last book.

  I totally agree with this, he did the same thing with Thomas and Harry's relationship after Turn Coat.  At the end of Turn Coat Harry was very unsettled with what Thomas was saying at the end of Turn Coat and there appeared to be a split between them, then in the next book it was like it never happened. 

I also noticed that Harry's attitude towards Wardens beheading suspected warlocks and those who do Black Magic out of ignorance maybe had come to resemble the Merlin.  In Proven Guilty Harry was for at the very least due process for the accused before his or her head was lopped off, why the Merlin argued that 1] too many of them and too few wizards willing to take on the Doom to try and help these kids. 2] That too many were too far gone and there was no reforming them so they had to lose their heads, not doing that was too costly.  In Twelve Months, Harry has seemingly come around to that view.

I always thought Harry and Thomas's relationship was strained until Cold Days. In Changes Thomas ignored Harry and acted like he didn't care about Maggie being sacrificed. In, Ghost Story we see Thomas is very much not being a monster. In Cold Days, Thomas calls Harry out on his suicide, and what that says about what Harry must think of Thomas.

  Is it just me, but did anyone else get hungry for pot pie after reading this book? ::) ;)

I don't know what they did. As you said, perhaps magically undetectable microphones. We will see.

Oh yeah, there's no way the spooky feds wouldn't take advantage of that opportunity.  Somehow.

Hopefully someone kept Bob's skull and anything else too sensitive out of their sight, at least.

 Bob now seems to live in the castle walls themselves, is his skull even to be found these days?

I think Harry is oblivious but not that oblivious. I am sure his most sensitive things are out of sight.

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)
