As usual a page turner from start to finish. The characters are believable and leave you with a feeling of knowing them. Molly Murphy is a friend now. I look forward to the next adventure.
I love this series! Molly Murphy is a feisty, independent young
Irish Immigrant who chooses to be a private detective. The series takes place in New York City at the turn of the century. The strong characters and intriguing plots set in an early 19th century background, make for captivating reading. I am enjoying every book of the series.
I love the MaggieMalone stories. I enjoyed the excitement. I cried at the sadness. The characters are marvelous and so real. Waiting for the next book.
Book 4 of the Molly Murphy mysteries does not disappoint.
Molly is now a private investigator who was sent by the charming and dashing Captain Sullivan to expose the Sorensen Sisters who were spiritualist.
While doing this she solves two murders, becomes poisoned,and solves a child kidnapping case.
This is a turn of the century female detective. The stories keep you wanting to turn the page. I could not put this book down and I'm anxious to read book 5 tomorrow.
I love this series of Rhys Bowen. It reflects the times of the early 1900's set in New York City about a young woman who has immirgated from Ireland. She is challenged trying to be independent from the social expectations of that period. She begins her own detective agency and leads the reader into a crime mystery.
In Like Flynn is the fourth Molly Murphy mystery. Each book gives you enough background that you can read them stand alone if you wish, but they a best read in order. I read the of them in a few days. They are easy reads that blend history, mystery and a little romance very well. Molly is a single young lady who had to leave Ireland in a bit of a rush after an incident involving her families landlord's son. She arrives in the New York under an assumed name, escorting two young children, and stumbles into a murder before she leaves Ellis Island (Murphy's Law). She has a hard time finding a "suitable job" for an opinionated female and eventually finds herself to be an investigator (Death of Riley). This book takes Molly out of NYC to the high dollar estates along the Hudson River. As always, Molly's assignment takes a turn for the strange as she discovers that the two spiritualists she has been paid to investigate are not the only mysterious people around
I really liked this book. I have read all of the Molly Murphy mysteries and was luke warm about them after the first book. They have consistently improved and gotten better and better. In Like Flynn was the best one by far. I rarely give five stars to a book and I liked this one enough for five stars.
This time, Molly goes undercover on behalf of the New York Police Department to expose two spiritualists as phonies. She has to pretend to be a long lost cousin of a New York Senator and live on the Senator's estate. While on the estate, she stumbles upon clues about an old kidnapping and a new murder. In typical Molly Murphy style, she gets herself involved in every aspect of all the various mysteries and sets about solving them.
A quick and very enjoyable read. I definitely recommend this book. On to the next one.
