Book Reviews of Oh Danny Boy (Molly Murphy Mysteries)

Book Review: An Excellent Historical Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars


Irish immigrant and new P.I. Molly Murphy has a lot on her mind these days. Her former love interest, police officer Daniel Sullivan, is in jail. Daniel's been accused of taking a bribe from a gang member, organizing a prize fight (banned by the city a year earlier in 1901) and to have tipped off the gang about a police raid, which resulted in an officer's death. Daniel's colleagues have turned against him, so his only help is from Molly and a brain-rattled prize fighter.

Molly believes Daniel's innocent and has good reason for wanting to save him from a conviction. While investigating, she's also asked to look into the disappearance of a friend of Arabella Norton who recently ended her engagement to Daniel. Having more work than she can handle, Molly is also faced with a troubling personal issue and a growing concern that the missing girl might be the victim of a serial killer known as the East Side Ripper.

Needless to say, there's a lot going on in this novel and I haven't even covered all of the subplots. But this is partly what makes Oh Danny Boy so appealing, as does the story's 1902 New York setting. Rhys Bowen does an amazing job of moving the story along while portraying life for immigrant women on their own in a big city at the turn of the twentieth century. Molly Murphy is a terrific character who sank deeper and deeper into trouble until I couldn't imagine how she'd ever get out of the mess she was in, but she does in a credible way.

I've read lots of positive things about Rhys Bowen's books and, while I can only judge from this one, I'm ready to jump on that bandwagon. I bought my first Molly Murphy mystery in mid-series so I now want to start at the beginning and read them all. Great stuff!

Summary of Oh Danny Boy (Molly Murphy Mysteries)

Irish immigrant Molly Murphy is contemplating giving up PI work for something a little less?exciting. Molly has had quite enough excitement recently, thank you very much. Especially from the handsome but deceptive NYPD captain Daniel Sullivan. She wants him out of her life for good. But when Daniel is accused of accepting bribes and lands himself in the Tombs, the notorious city jail, he begs Molly to help prove he was framed. After everything they've been through together, how can she turn him down? As Molly finds herself drawn further into Daniel's case, Molly begins to fear that his trouble is related to one of his investigations: catching a serial killer who is targeting prostitutes, known to the locals as the East Side Ripper?.
