This one took on a pretty serious tone but was better written than the last couple I read. While coincidental, the story was still pretty good. Plus, arrogant Daniel got knocked down a few notches...not such a bad thing. Trigger warning: the story deals with abortion and the loss of a child. ( )

Oh Danny Boy
4 Stars

When New York police captain Daniel Sullivan is arrested for taking bribes, he turns to fledgling PI Molly Murphy for help. Despite Daniel's past actions, Molly cannot leave him to rot in jail and sets out to prove he was framed. Soon she finds herself investigting several leads from horse doping, to illegal prizefighting to missing girls and even a serial killer plaguing the streets of the East Side.

While it has been a while since I read the last book, it is easy to get back into the swing of things.

Molly is a charming heroine, but she is still running around without much knowledge or skill and more often than not stumbles on the truth quite accidentally. Nevertheless, the mystery is intriguing albeit darker than some of the previous cases.

The serial killer plot is disturbing and highlights an issue that persists well into the 21st century, i.e., the idea that murdered prostitutes are somehow less deserving of justice. The eventual explanation is believable, and the climax and resolution are exciting and suspenseful.

Molly and Daniel's relationship remains the weakest aspect of the series. Given his behavior and the events in this book, it is difficult to see how they will be able to reconcile their differences. There really needs to be an excellent amount of groveling if he is to redeem himself.

Overall, it is fun getting back into the series and I look forward to the next installment. ( )

In this installment Molly is dealing with Daniel Sullivan, NYPD captain, being arrested for bribery and thrown into The Tomb, NYC's jail. She investigates why he is being framed and in the process solves the disappearance of a wealthy young woman and several others. ( )

Argh. Molly is annoying me. She needs to kick Daniel to the curb OR, you know, actually talk to him. ( )

Molly Murphy investigates bribery & corruption charges against Police Captain Daniel Sullivan.... To do so she must step on the toes of Daniel's former fiance (her rival), the Police Commissioner, the Mob Boss, Daniel's uninterested attorney, and several other people.

With as much as she has on her plate, Molly is also trying to locate the best friend of Daniel's former fiancee, locate the murderer of prostitutes and young women, and investigate the killing of a racehorse at Coney Island. Not to mention the fact that Molly is pregnant......

With the help of Mrs. Goodwin a Police woman, Molly is once again able to solve the murders and get Daniel released from jail & free of the the trumped up charges.

The book was interesting & well written. Once again, I stayed up to finish the book. There was just enough tension to keep this interesting, yet there were places that I merely skimmed over...... ( )
