The Edge of Dreams by Rhys Bowen
2.0
This is my first Rhys Bowen book, and it's the 14th in the series, so that's always a bit tricky. I really liked the main character Molly Murphy Sullivan. She's a spunky former detective, now married to a police captain. The early 20th century NYC setting was also a lot of fun.
But, the ending was SUPER OBVIOUS. Like I knew why-dunnit about 1/4 into the book, and I figured out who-dunnit before I was halfway. And that's always annoying. And then I kept getting annoyed with Molly for missing very blatant clues. Oh well, in her defense she'd just had a blow to the head in a train accident. Maybe it hindered her detecting powers.
**** spoiler alert ****
*hello Birnbaum and Catskills references, I'm looking at you. And could Dolly's sister have made it ANY MORE OBVIOUS that she worked for a wealthy banking family? 2.5 out of 5
