Death of Riley (Molly Murphy Mysteries)
Date undefinedThis second installement of the Molly Murphy Mysteries follows Molly trying to start up as an investigator. She starts working as PI Paddy Riley's assistant, until he's brutally murdered. Molly can't help trying to solve the mystery...
She's new to the business and this creates many funny situations and causes her some trouble along the way. Also, she's still new to New York, and her naive meetings with her contemporaries are also very funny at times.
We meet again some of the characters from the last novel. It's worth reading them in the chronological order, mind you, as they follow each other logically.
This is a lovely historical mystery, with lively dialogues and a heroine with spunk. However, this is not a brutal and bloody crime novel. If that's what you're looking for, you need to read something else.

Date undefinedLove this book. The order was easy and came as indicated. Good response for order and information.
Death of Riley (Molly Murphy Mysteries)
Date undefinedIf you are tired of multiple murders instead of plot this is just the book for you! Well drawn characters, excellent understanding of the era and the place -- (1890's Greenwich Village). The main character is delightful, although she gets away with much more than most women in the era would have.
Have read several others of this series and enjoyed them all. Not alot of redrawing of characters in each new book.
A good quick read... The mystery is reasonably ploted out, although the who in the who done it could have appeared more often...
Delicious mind candy
