 Keep 'em coming, Rhys! October 24, 2008
I'm awaiting delivery of the most current "Molly" and I'm really in a funk. The good/bad news is, I'm an addict! The thought of having to wait for months or even years for the one after that...well, it's painful.
Rhys Bowen has managed to put the reader right in the midst of turn-of- the 20th Century New York. She has captured the sights, sounds, energy and even smells of the city. She has also created, Molly Murphy, who might be my favorite fictional character of all time. She's feisty, intelligent, fearless and tender. You'll love her, I promise.
Ms. Bowen has also written a series of genuine page-turners. It's impossible to turn out the lights until you've read one more chapter. Please, please keep up the good work, Rhys.
 Horribly written but fairly entertaining August 7, 2008
Don't expect too much from this book. Ms. Bowen does a good job of thinking up interesting, if completely unbelievable, mysteries. With all the experience she's had in writing, one would think she would be able to create lifelike characters who have realistic conversations, but this is not the case. It is not likely that Daniel would be attracted to Molly, and for a supposedly hard-headed, confident Irishwoman, she puts up with a lot of nonsense from him.
If you're not overly picky about the style of your books, and want a quick read that doesn't require deep thinking, this is fine.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Molly Murphy series, & "In Like Flynn" is my favorite thus far. This installment combines spiritualists with a good detective story, but I actually enjoyed the characters that we meet along the way more than the mystery. As always, Molly is a very likable heroine, & I enjoy the fact that this mystery series does not focus on a wealthy woman. Many historical mysteries seem to involved a main character who is wealthy, but Molly is plain folk. Her dogged determination to make it in a man's world alone with worth the read.
Captivating December 2, 2007
This time Molly goes undercover. She runs into her worst nightmare. She also solves numerous crimes. Leave it to Molly to engross your whole attention so much that you forget where you are sitting while you are reading. This is the 4th Molly Murphy mystery and it's the best one yet.

Like the first book in this Molly Murphy series, this book is thoroughly delightful. Molly is always putting herself in danger, and just when you think she is out of trouble, trouble just seems to follow her. There were a lot of twists, turns and surprises.
Although this book is the fourth in a series, it is not necessary to read all the previous books. I did read the first book, and I plan on reading books 2 and 3 in this series.
