Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A woman ahead of her time, Molly Murphy is determined to be a private detective. Having inherited the cases of her deceased mentor, Paddy Reilly, she's following philandering husbands, tracking down a runaway Dublin debutante, and working in a sweatshop to discover who's purloining dress designs. None of her jobs seem dangerous...at first. When a woman's body is fished out of the East River, Molly fears it's the missing society girl. Then Molly's sometime beau, police captain Daniel Sullivan, reveals that another corpse may be the girl's scalawag lover, Mike Kelly. But Molly has to know their identities for certain. Now as threads of passion and greed weave a tapestry of violence, Molly descends into the underworld of the gangs of New York. It's no place for a lady, and even a scrappy Irish lass may need more than her street smarts to get the truth...and get out alive.

Mystery, suspense, action, friendships and romance are interwoven so well that it will make you hours late for whatever you were supposed to be doing or wherever you were supposed to be. Watch out or you will finish the book without having meant to. Do yourself a favor and start the book during the weekend!

I have read all the molloy murphy mysteries and recommend them to any good mystery buff. The books move well and the plot is well developed with great twists and turns.

The history of this book transports you back to the turn of the century New York. Molly is a women that I would like to know. In fact she might have been my great grandmother.

This is the third Molly Murphy mystery. I've not read them in any particular order, as each book will stand alone.
In this book, she is working two cases. She goes undercover in a sweat shop and is also hired by a wealthy Englishman to find his daughter, who has run away. The two cases will come together. Another woman is thought to be Molly and is murdered, Molly is in a fire and in the closing pages is almost thrown from a bridge. Molly is an Irish immigrant living in New York City in the early 1900's. You've got to love Molly and her friends.

In addition to the wonderful character of Molly Murphy, I love the descriptions of old NY (of course, I AM a NYer!) esp the conditions of sweatshops, the backbone (and scarlet letter) of the garment industry. many people think of the fancy mansions and the Astors when they think of that time period, before they think of the slums and inquality that existed at the time.
also, nice samuel clemens name dropping!
