In 1905, NYPD Police Captain Daniel Sullivan battled crime in the
city while his wife "retired" private detective Molly raised their infant
son Liam until an explosion blew up their house injuring the couple and killing
their servant Aggie but not harming the baby.
Molly and Liam traveled to France to stay safely with her Freud disciple
friends Elena “Sid” Goldfarb and Augusta “Gus” Walcott while Daniel worked his
Costa Nostra investigation and rebuilt their home (see City of Darkness and Light).
Sullivan’s traveling family returns from France to move into their
new home. At the same time Daniel
struggles with a serial killer case in which the culprit taunts him. When Molly becomes injured in an el accident
that left others dead, Daniel concludes his nemesis targeted his wife and
son. Molly assists her spouse with
ending this psychopath’s reign of terror; while also helping Sid and Gus with
deeply disturbed Mabel Hamilton who may have murdered her parents.
The keys to the fourteenth marvelous Molly Murphy historical
mystery (see The
Family Way and Hush Now, Don't You Cry)
are the heroine’s investigating seems reasonable and in hindsight all the clues
are provided within the excellent storyline though solving the case proves
difficult. Feeling transported to the
first decade of twentieth century Manhattan, readers will appreciate unsinkable
Molly as she heals from her latest injuries, raises her son with help from her
mother-in-law and works the two cases.
