Turn-of-the-century New York murder mystery with a stubborn woman detective. Very good. Has that "homey" quality I like.

I really struggled to get into this one. There are several story lines going on at once and it seemed weird and very coincidental for them all to converge at the end. This one features Molly and Daniel teaming up---which actually took some fun out of it for me. Mostly because I am SO SICK of Daniel constantly running her down for wanting to follow her passion for detecting. He's really an idiot. Hope he shapes up soon.

Recently picked up another volume by this author. Hadn't read this series for a long time, and found it to be just as enjoyable as I remember it to be. A great beach read.

Like most good lady detectives, Molly Murphy is brave, optimistic, and having difficulty doing the job she's most interested in: investigating mysteries. Edwardian cultural constraints slow her down only occasionally, however. In this mystery, three seemingly unrelated circumstances come together in a brutal way, and Molly must be quick to find the common denominator to prevent further harm to others.
