Review Summary: Discover Ellis Island and New York with a young Irish immigrant fleeing the law
Review: The first novel of the MOlly Murphy Mysteries tells the story of how Molly finds herself fleeing Ireland and arriving New York in 1901. While at Ellis Island, a man is murdered, and Molly is one of the prime suspects. Handsome Captain Daniel Sullivan of the NYPD senses that she's hiding something, which is true, but she's not the murderer. Partly to save herself and her friend Michael, also a prime suspect, and pratly to impress good-looking and sexy Sullivan, she embarks on an investigation to find the murderer...
This novel manages to catch the arrival at Ellis Island and NY of the turn of the Century. I visited Ellis Island and a tenement house on the Lower East Side River this summer. Reading the novel, I felt as if I was back there, in the bustle of activity, with millions of languages and people around me. Also, the sexual tension between Daniel and Molly is quite entertaining, as they are both entangled in a web of lies...

Review Summary: murphy's law
Review: This book was much better than I anticipated. I fell in love with Molly, and, although some of the storyline was a bit contrived, I didn't mind. Molly seemed to find her way a little too easily after arriving to America. Most women who weren't married, in that day, would have been a prostitute, servant, or factory worker. She dabbles with these "professions" but ultimately finds her way thanks to some good fortune. Maybe I'm just a sucker for all things Irish :) This book is a good history lesson but also light. Highly recommended to any mystery buff.
