Time of Fog and Fire

A Molly Murphy Mystery

De: Rhys Bowen

Narrado por: Nicola Barber

Molly Murphy Sullivan's husband, Daniel, a police captain in turn-of-the-century New York City, is in a precarious position. The new police commissioner wants him off the force altogether. So when Daniel's offered an assignment from John Wilkie, head of the Secret Service, he's eager to accept.

Molly can't draw any details of the assignment out of him, even where he'll be working. But when she spots him in San Francisco during a movie news segment, she starts to wonder if he's in even more danger than she had first believed. And then she receives a strange and cryptic letter from him, leading her to conclude that he wants her to join him in San Francisco. Molly knows that if Daniel's turning to her rather than John Wilkie or his contacts in the police force, something must have gone terribly wrong. What can she do for him that the police can't? Especially when she doesn't even know what his assignment is?

Embarking on a cross-country journey with her young son, Molly can't fathom what's in store for her, but she knows it might be dangerous - in fact, it might put all of their lives at risk.

I hope there will be more in the mall in Murphy series I have enjoyed them ever so much thank you Rhys Bowen

Excellent author, charming series!

I love this series, a bit of mystery told with a splash of humor. The narration in top notch. I love Nicola Barber so well, I have searched out other series she has narrated. This series generally focuses on the characters and their lives, with the mystery being secondary, which is fine with me. I like a change and variety now and then from the nail biting thrillers. Also love the fact that they are historical...love a look into the past...should have been born in an earlier time:)

Imagining the 1906 San Francisco earthquake

This was one novel where the story actually became secondary to the setting. The descriptions of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake and its aftermath were truly gripping. This was historical storytelling at its finest. This was also one of my favorite performances by Nicola Barber who absolutely nailed a variety of voices and accents.

Enchanting Tale

This was an excellent story - intrigue and un-expected turns. Would probably speaks more to the female gender - but enough intrigue for those who emjoy
