Once again, Molly is embroiled in solving a crime. This time she has actually been asked by her on again, off again engaged (not to her!)boyfriend, Captain Sullivan of the NYC police, to investigate the claims of 2 female spiritualists who are all the rage in society.
It takes Molly to upstate NY, to the estate of a political candidate whose baby son was kidnapped and killed several years ago.

Whether you are a fan of the series or this is your first encounter with Molly Murphy, you will enjoy the skillful blending of history and fiction set in turn of the century NY.

I happened across this book and it was great. I think this one may be the second one in the series. A young Irish immigrant woman decides she wants to be a detective in early 1900s New York City (era of the gangs of New York like the Hudson Dusters, etc.) She has an on-again, off-again romance with a NYC Police sargeant who sends her on an assignment that he thinks will keep her out of trouble. Instead she runs into some serious business that she has to unravel. She bravely handles it all. A great book!

the Molly Murphy series is interesting (old New York)and well written. great mystery!

Another exciting entry in the Molly Murphy mystery series. This book takes us upstate, to a mansion along the Hudson, where a duo of Spiritualist sisters are attempting to contact the dead child of a Senator via seances.

There are additional subplots woven into the story, one which takes you back to the first book where Molly had to flee Ireland. An enjoyable read and I'm anxious to get to the next in this series just find out what happens with Molly, Daniel, Seamus et al.

Another in the Molly Murphy series and it's a winner. "A woman private eye in a man's world, Irish immigrant Molly Murphy is having a hard time succeeding as a New York shamus. Thats why she agrees to go umderover for the NYPD to expose a pair of spiritualist sisters as con artists even though the offer comes from police caption Daniel Sulliver, once Molly's love - until she discovered he already had a socialite fiancee and an upcoming wedding.

Now Molly's masquerading as a cousin from Ireland at the Hudson River mansion of Senator Barney Flynn. Flynn's invalid wife hopes the psychic sisters can contact her dead son, kidnapped and lost in a sensational crime. After an eerie seance, Molly isn't so sure the sisters are fakes, but she's certain the police bungled the kidnapping case. Soon Molly's questions are leading her toward danger, and her own sixth sense is warning her - murder lies ahead."

Rys Bowen is the best and Molly Murphy, the Irish immigrant to NYC at the turn of the 20th century is as feisty a detective as they come

Very different from anything I've read before. I enjoyed it and will definitely read more in this series.
