City of Darkness and Light

A Molly Murphy Mystery, Book 13

De: Rhys Bowen

Narrado por: Nicola Barber

Molly and Daniel Sullivan are settling happily into the new routines of parenthood, but their domestic bliss is shattered the night a gang retaliates against Daniel for making a big arrest. Daniel wants his family safely out of New York City as soon as possible. In shock and grieving, but knowing she needs to protect their infant son, Liam, Molly agrees to take him on the long journey to Paris to stay with her friends Sid and Gus, who are studying art in the City of Light.

But upon arriving in Paris, nothing goes as planned. Sid and Gus seem to have vanished into thin air, and Molly's search to figure out what happened to them will lead her through all levels of Parisian society, from extravagant salons to the dingy cafés where starving artists linger over coffee and loud philosophical debates. And when in the course of her search she stumbles across a dead body, Molly, on her own in a foreign country, starts to wonder if she and Liam might be in even more danger in Paris than they had been at home.

As Impressionism gives way to Fauvism and Cubism, and the Dreyfus affair rocks France, Molly races through Paris to outsmart a killer in City of Darkness and Light, Rhys Bowen's most spectacular Molly Murphy novel yet.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Nicola Barber's clear, light voice and facility with accents, especially Irish and French, are well displayed in this latest chapter in the Molly Murphy mysteries, set in the early 1900s." ( AudioFile)

Fantastic

I absolutely love this series. I can't get enough of them. They make my work day & drive go by so much better.

Love a great series?

This series is excellent! It is a detective mystery with friends and much is learned about history. Looking for a good series???? This is it!

Paris without Daniel

It was refreshing not to have him constantly "forbidding " Molly to sleuth and solve crime

Great Series!!

Delightful. stories. I have come to greatly appreciate the talent of Rhys Bowen writing. The narrator is fantastic!!

Another winner!

I've been skipping around the Molly Murphy series, but now I really want to begin in book order. This is my 3rd MM, and I cannot pick a favorite as yet, they are all so uniquely wonderful. I like the way the author has woven real people into her story, having major characters being played by two famous impression painters, and a dusting of several more. This novel has it all; famous places, famous people, and lots of Molly being her curious self. Most of all, I like the way the author makes these famous people seem more real. They come to life in their everyday settings, and in helping Molly to avoid danger. My hat is off to you Ms Bowen for weaving such a great mystery/story
