Discovered

Husband and I have recently discovered this wonderful author and series!

I am fast becoming a #1 fan of Rhys Bowen.

The story is captivating. It is a page turner. If I had the time to devote to it, I could have read it in one sitting. Bookwormfg

A fun,brief glimpse into life of one young woman in an American city in the late 1800's. Full of intrigue, mystery and humor.

One more adventure in the life of Molly Murphy. Delightful and charming.

Rhys Bowen

Again, Rhys Bowen has out done herself. The Molly Murphy sequels are great! Love to read them.

A little too much

Compared to some of the other offerings by Rhys Bowen, I felt that this book fell short. Or more correctly, fell long. By trying to cram too many plot elements into the novel, the pace became choppy. Then loose ends had to be tied up. This contributed to my having a disconnect with the heroine on and off through the book.
In her Molly books, Ms. Bowen always incorporates some wonderful details that re-create old New York. But her characters in this novel seem to flit to New Haven and back to the City far too quickly to be possible. For those readers who know the area, this stretch of the truth contributes to further disconnect. Overall, not her best book.

Great historical mystery

In 1902 in snowy Central Park Molly Murphy and her sweetheart suspended New York City police Captain Daniel Sullivan (see OH DANNY BOY) are walking together enjoying the moment. However their idyllic stroll abruptly ends when they see a scantily clad woman half buried in a snow drift. They rescue the near dead but obviously traumatized young lady.------------ Molly is outraged that someone could do this to another human. She vows to learn the identity of the still in shock woman and uncover who coldly left her to die. At about the same time, actress Blanche Lovejoy hires Molly to investigate the spiritual mischief that is devastating her production of a play scheduled to open shortly but is in trouble due to the ghostly vandalism. Although her time is already tight, Molly agrees to make inquiries into the vanished nephew of a wealthy client, who wants to know if her relative disappeared to avoid a homicide prosecution or is the victim of foul play.-------------- Molly¿s business is booming so she hires an assistant, an out of work cop who is dating her. Fascinatingly, the cases tie together in the theater leading to Molly going on stage to solve the mysteries. Readers will appreciate the latest entry of the unsinkable Molly Murphy as she continues to prove that she can make it in Manhattan.------------ Harriet Klausner
