Tell Me, Pretty Maiden (Molly Murphy Mysteries) di Rhys Bowen

It is December, 1902 and Molly Murphy, female private detective is becoming very busy juggling three cases at once. We learn that the first case is trying to find the son of a very wealthy Jewish family whose automobile is discovered wreaked against a tree. Then she is approached by a Broadway musical star to find out whether her new play is being harassed by a ghost. Lastly, when Molly stumbles over the almost frozen body of a young woman buried in a snow bank in Central Park, she feels she must take on the care of this mysterious woman just to keep her out of the local asylum.

She has many friends and an admirer whose job as a New York police detective provides assistance and protection when things get dangerous. An enjoyable read which also provides information on what life may have been like in turn of the century New York City.… (altro)

When Georgiana loans her new French chef to a neighbor known for his violent thrillers and his poison garden guests become ill. Did the chef, a self-confessed communist, attack the aristocrtic host and guests? Fortunately, Agatha Christie was one of the guests and together she and Georgiana work out the solution.

A royal pain di Rhys Bowen

I really wanted to like this series, but not sure I will continue after this one. Maybe at some point. But the tendency to relate word for word Georgie’s relationship to royalty numerous times is grating. Everyone is obsessed with sex. A near rape is brushed off and never mentioned again. And in this particular book, there was absolutely no Mystery about who the villain was.
