... and I just bet I know who the traitor is. Because jimbutcher is like that AUGH.


I may be totally off-base but right now my money's on Luccio.

Because a) she's currently romantically involved with Harry, and if the history of this series has taught me anything, it's that anybody romantically involved with Harry is likely to be a Very Bad Idea, and

b) She's currently walking around in a much younger body. I have a sneaky suspicion, thinking back on it now, that this might not have been as accidental as it looked at the time. If she was as old a wizard as she was, I'm betting the prospect of being in a younger body again was very attractive.

Alternately, they could have swayed her to the Dark Side after the switch, threatening to take her out of that agile young body after she'd had a taste of it.

But mostly a). Because Jim is awful like that and Harry's gotten too emotionally comfy lately. ;)


ETA: Okay, so I wasn't entirely off. Har!


Okay, so Luccio had been manipulated into committing the murder. Yowza. So I was on the right track, just not entirely facing the right direction!

And *sniff* about the ending, what with Morgan's death and Luccio and Harry breaking up and Thomas getting tortured by the skinwalker and *yow*.

Although in a purely selfish way I'm not sorry about Luccio and Harry breaking up, 'cause well, seriously, it's always been all about the Harry and Murphy. ;>

What was that I was saying about Harry getting too emotionally comfy lately? Right then!

just, to everyone above, i am pretty sure we have at least *heard* of Peabody before this book. i recognized him. i might go back through and make sure.

also: the REAL hero of these books? MOUSE!

that is all.

[annathepiper]

Mouse was, I agree, made of complete and utter AWESOME. <3

But I don't remember seeing Peabody before at all! Of course, we haven't had any scenes in Wizard Central in Edinburgh before either.

i'm pretty sure that he was involved in the meeting that including Molly's "sentencing"
sadly, a friend is borrowing the last few Dresden books, so i can't check until she gives them back. was that in "White Knight"
it's the book that starts off with the "trial" of the teenage wizard who gets beheaded, and has the horror convention and such.
i am like 90% certain that Peabody was one of the wizards who spoke during that meeting.

that was a question, btw - was that in "White Knight?"
i forgot the question mark. i was asking if White Knight was the book with the scenes i described. sigh.

[annathepiper]

Late answer to this but yeah, I think it was White Night that had Molly on trial. I will have to keep an eye out for Peabody--I will eventually reread them all, and that will be fun.
