Now say it with me folks: All cops are bastards! And this most certainly includes Murphy, Dresden’s frenemy in the police department. Oh yeah, I’m sure the overworked female Chicago police officer is really great at her job. To be fair — if you consider the job of police to be botching investigations and committing violence against citizens she’s doing a great job. I’m writing this as I listen to the second book in the series and God, I hope this character dies. Boohoo, Murphy is soooo damaged and can’t trust people or listen to anything anyone else says. This is surely the makings of someone who can be trusted with a gun and badge. Surely every reader will root for this character who references beating suspects in the interrogation room.
