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

This review is from: Oh Danny Boy: A Molly Murphy Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
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!
