Book Reviews of In Like Flynn (Molly Murphy Mysteries)

Book Review: A WOMAN IN A MAN'S WORLD...
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the fourth book in the author's engaging series of historical cozy mysteries, featuring Molly Murphy, a recent immigrant to America's shores at the turn of the twentieth century. Intelligent and resourceful, Molly has dreams of making a living as a private detective, much to the dismay of New York City captain Daniel Sullivan, who is enamored of Molly, despite being engaged to a socialite.

When he offers Molly an opportunity to for an undercover assignment in the Hudson River home of Barney Flynn, a local politician, Molly jumps at the opportunity. Not only does it get her out of the teeming streets of typhoid ridden New York City, it gets her an opportunity to hone her skills at detection.

Masquerading as Flynn's cousin, Molly is drawn into the Flynn household, where Flynn's invalid wife is trying to contact her dead son through the supposed psychic abilities of the Sorensen sisters, who are also houseguest of the Flynn's. Their son apparently had been kidnapped years before but never found, as the purported kidnapper had died at the hands of the police before the child's whereabouts could be ascertained.

As Molly gains insight into the Flynn household, Molly begins to question not only the psychic abilities of the Sorenson sisters, who are the focus of her assignment, but she also begins to question the handling of the kidnapping case by the police. As Molly's investigation begins to take her in another direction, danger looms near, and death seems to be just around the corner.

This is a well-written book with an intriguing plot and characters that will fully engage the reader. The book is also replete with historical detail that is evocative of a bygone era. As with all cozy mysteries, it is not so much the mystery that is of import but the characters that revolve around the mystery. While the mystery is intriguing, it is the framework around which the characters evolve. In the character of Molly Murphy, the author has created a sure fire winner.

Summary 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!
