Oh, lovely. I know JB describes her (Karrin) as a blonde. for some reason, I picture her as a brunette. Maybe because the tv show had a brunette. Valerie Cruz . Thanks for sharing.

I've never been able to fathom why some folks can't visualize the characters the way Jim describes them in his novels simply because of how the TV series was cast. The TV series created a completely different Dresdenverse, borrowing the names of some of Butcher's more major characters and a plot point here and there (except for the pilot wich was eventually cut down considerably and aired as episode 8).
The book series detective, Karrin Murphy is petite, blond, rides a motorcycle and kicks ass! The TV police detective, Connie Murphy though she's an interesting and mostly likeable character is a very different individual, lacking many of the attributes of Karrin Murphy.
If you look closely at the TV series characters individually you should notice that each of them are much different than the characters that Jim describes in the books.
The above is my personal opinion.
