Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In Agatha-winner Bowen's entertaining if imperfect fifth Molly Murphy mystery (after 2005's In Like Flynn), the feisty Irish lass, who has immigrated to New York City and become a PI, comes to the rescue of someone very near and dear to her, NYPD cop Daniel Sullivan. Daniel's been accused of taking a bribe, but Molly is sure he's innocent. Before his arrest, Daniel was trying to track down the East Side Ripper, a prostitute-murdering brute. Molly suspects someone wanted Daniel off the case and set him up. While trying to prove Daniel's innocence, Molly realizes that their one night of passion has left her pregnant. She contemplates an abortion, but can't go through with it. If the solution to Molly's predicament is a predictable cop-out, Bowen deserves kudos for her recreation of early 20th-century New York. She avoids the temptation to give cameos to every famous figure of the day, but those she does work in—like New York's first "lady policeman"—are wonderfully chosen. (Mar.)

From Booklist
New York City in the summer of 1902: Molly Murphy is seriously considering giving up her dream of being a private investigator to move west, away from the alluring-but-deceptive police captain, Daniel Sullivan. But when Daniel suddenly winds up in jail, the target of a bribery probe, Molly has no choice but to help him clear his name--a challenge that becomes far more complicated when Molly has to track down a serial killer as well. This is the fifth Murphy mystery, and it's a beautifully constructed historical one that catapults readers back in time and immerses them in turn-of-the-twentieth-century New York. David Pitt
