Publisher's summary

Molly Murphy's beau Captain Daniel Sullivan may be out of jail on bail, but he's still a ways from clearing his name, and his foul mood has Molly in search of a little breathing room when providence steps in in the form of a proposition from New York City's renowned theatrical impresario Tommy Burke.

America has been very good to Tommy, and now that he's getting on in years, he'd like to pass some of that good fortune on to his family back in Ireland. That's, of course, if Molly can find the long-lost baby sister his family left in the care of a parish priest when they fled the famine and avoid the warrant out for her arrest that forced Molly to flee herself. Tempted by the prospect of going home for the first time in years and putting her fledging detective agency on firm financial ground, Molly throws caution to the wind and climbs aboard the White Start Liner Majestic with hopes of sneaking on and off the isle without raising a peep.

But even before Molly lands on the other side of the Atlantic, Broadway's leading actress, Oona Sheehan, has gone missing from the ship, and her maid is found dead in her cabin.

Full of rich historic detail and enchanting turn-of-the-century personalities, Molly's return home, In Dublin's Fair City, is the sixth thrilling installment in Rhys Bowen's award-winning Molly Murphy series.

Wonderful twists

This may be the my favorite Rhys Bowen book to date. The new characters, multiple locations away from NY, twists and turns all while encompassing a bit history made it so I could not stop listening.

Not sure

I love all her books but this one left me wanting! I still liked it but not my favorite

love the series

I just love the cleanness of the series, no bad language, no explicit sex, etc. The narrator puts enough excitement to keep it interesting.

a bit darker than anticipated

spoiler alert. Molly takes an assignment overseas and we lose track of all her friends and companions in New York. Unfortunately, no one steps up to take their place and Molly is off on her own. The story takes a dark turn into Ireland's politics and Molly finds herself heavily involved. The ending leaves much to be desired in that it doesn't explore or really wrap up the Pandora's box that it opens. Molly just comes home leaving everything left behind hanging in uncertainty. I just felt the story was a bit out of place for Molly's New life.

Entertaining historical mystery series

'In Dublin's Fair City' Molly return to Ireland for the first time in years to work on a case. Exciting narrative and details, enjoyed the look of Ireland's countryside and Dublin's neighborhoods of the early 1900s. Loved the change of scenery and the break from Captain Daniel Sullivan. Good addition to a very good series.
