Publisher's Summary

Murphy's Law is the captivating first entry of Rhys Bowen’s New York Times best-selling Molly Murphy series.

Molly Murphy always knew she'd end up in trouble, just as her mother predicted. So, when she commits murder in self-defense, she flees her cherished Ireland, under cover of a false identity, for the anonymous shores of late 19th-century America. When she arrives in New York and sees the welcoming promise of freedom in the Statue of Liberty, Molly begins to breathe easier. But when a man is murdered on Ellis Island, a man Molly was seen arguing with, she becomes a prime suspect in the crime.

If she can't clear her name, Molly will be sent back to Ireland where the gallows await, so using her Irish charm and sharp wit, she escapes Ellis Island and sets out to find the wily killer on her own. Pounding the notorious streets of Hell's Kitchen and the Lower East Side, Molly undertakes a desperate mission to clear her name before her deadly past comes back to haunt her new future.

Delight Mystery Novel

I love the Irish accent by Nicola Barber. I would have enjoyed more diverse accents for the other characters as well. The novel was an interesting light mystery novel. The characters interesting as well as the story. I would have no problem listening to one of Rhys Brown series.

I love her series.

I love all her series. Her books are very entertaining. I just wish I could figure out which book follows the one just finished. sometimes there is a sample at the end, but not with everybody.
