Editorial Review of In Like Flynn (Molly Murphy Mysteries)
A woman private eye in a man’s world, Molly Murphy is having a hard time succeeding as a New York shamus. That’s why she agrees to go undercover for the NYPD to expose a pair of spiritualist sisters as con-artists even though the offer comes from police captain Daniel Sullivan. Sullivan had once won Molly’s heart—until she discovered he already had a socialite fiancé 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 séance, 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!
Customer Reviews of In Like Flynn (Molly Murphy Mysteries)
Customer Rating: 
Review Summary: Horribly written but fairly entertaining
Review: Don't expect too much from this book. Ms. Bowen does a good job of thinking up interesting, if completely unbelievable, mysteries. With all the experience she's had in writing, one would think she would be able to create lifelike characters who have realistic conversations, but this is not the case. It is not likely that Daniel would be attracted to Molly, and for a supposedly hard-headed, confident Irishwoman, she puts up with a lot of nonsense from him.
If you're not overly picky about the style of your books, and want a quick read that doesn't require deep thinking, this is fine.

Review Summary: in like flynn
Review: I have thoroughly enjoyed the Molly Murphy series, & "In Like Flynn" is my favorite thus far. This installment combines spiritualists with a good detective story, but I actually enjoyed the characters that we meet along the way more than the mystery. As always, Molly is a very likable heroine, & I enjoy the fact that this mystery series does not focus on a wealthy woman. Many historical mysteries seem to involved a main character who is wealthy, but Molly is plain folk. Her dogged determination to make it in a man's world alone with worth the read.

Review Summary: Captivating
Review: This time Molly goes undercover. She runs into her worst nightmare. She also solves numerous crimes. Leave it to Molly to engross your whole attention so much that you forget where you are sitting while you are reading. This is the 4th Molly Murphy mystery and it's the best one yet.

Review Summary: History, mystery, kidnapping and humor
Review: Like the first book in this Molly Murphy series, this book is thoroughly delightful. Molly is always putting herself in danger, and just when you think she is out of trouble, trouble just seems to follow her. There were a lot of twists, turns and surprises.
Although this book is the fourth in a series, it is not necessary to read all the previous books. I did read the first book, and I plan on reading books 2 and 3 in this series.

Review Summary: Good installment in a great series
Review: In Like Flynn is the fourth Molly Murphy mystery. Each book gives you enough background that you can read them stand alone if you wish, but they a best read in order. I read the of them in a few days. They are easy reads that blend history, mystery and a little romance very well. Molly is a single young lady who had to leave Ireland in a bit of a rush after an incident involving her families landlord's son. She arrives in the New York under an assumed name, escorting two young children, and stumbles into a murder before she leaves Ellis Island (Murphy's Law). She has a hard time finding a "suitable job" for an opinionated female and eventually finds herself to be an investigator (Death of Riley). This book takes Molly out of NYC to the high dollar estates along the Hudson River. As always, Molly's assignment takes a turn for the strange as she discovers that the two spiritualists she has been paid to investigate are not the only mysterious people around
