Tell Me, Pretty Maiden

De: Rhys Bowen

Narrado por: Nicola Barber

It’s wintertime in New York, and for the first time since Irish immigrant Molly Murphy started her early-twentieth-century detective agency, she is completely snowed in with work. While she’s proving to be quite the entrepreneur and is very much in demand by some of Broadway’s brightest stars and Fifth Avenue’s richest families, she has to grudgingly admit that if she’s going to work more than one case at a time, then she’s going to need some help. Molly’s beau, the recently and wrongly suspended police captain Daniel Sullivan, would make an ideal associate, but before they can agree on the terms of his employment, they stumble upon a young woman lying unconscious in the middle of a snow-covered Central Park. When the woman wakes up she is disorientated and has and lost her ability to speak, the authorities are about to pack her off to an insane asylum when Molly can’t help but step in and take on yet another case.

Lively and colorful, full of absorbing historical detail and delightful characters, Tell Me, Pretty Maiden is another gem in Rhys Bowen’s multiple award--winning series.

Molly Murphy series soo good

I am in book 9 and I love every minute with Molly Murphy . So delightful

Awesome!

I am very much enjoying Molly series. I have never been a big fixing fan but Molly has won me over.

Stories are great!

I agree the stories in the series are quite good. The narration of Molly's voice is pleasing. The other characters could use some polishing. The females either sound rough or ditzy. Daniel sounds rude and mean most of the time, and much imagination must be used to picture the written lines. Bowen could not have meant him to be so abrasive, or Molly would not be attracted to a guy with such a temperament. I hope Bowen improves with practice.

Fabulous

Another great addition to this series. I am awed by this author’s imagination.

Molly has several cases going on at the same time and Daniel helps her a little. A mysterious girl is found in the snow who does not speak and her saga intertwined with a couple of other cases. Yes I know really convenient but this is fiction and I love it!

On to the next!

Another Fun Adventure

At this point (Book 7) if you like the series you’ll keep going, and if you don’t like the series you would not have gotten this far.

I love the series and can’t wait to keep going; Molly is one of my favourite characters.

The only reason I can’t go all the way and give the book (series) 5 stars is because the lucky coincidences are a little too lucky, and the constant pondering and mental rehashing is sometimes irritating – but that’s it; the series is otherwise terrific!

Can’t wait to see what she gets up to in Book 8! I’m diving in right away!

Many twists and turns toward solving mystery

I thoroughly enjoy these characters and the mystery plots. The stories are fun, engaging, and take you along into history.

Just love this series!

Rhys Bowen keeps coming up with interesting plots, and narrator Nicola Barber is one great narrator!

Not quite as good as others in this series

It has a lot of moving parts which is ok but they got tied up too quickly at the end.

Love Molly

fun stories. best to start at the first story to be able to understand the characters development.

Love this period of time in NY

Enjoyed yet another of these delightful mysteries. Haven’t figured them out yet tho Looking forward to next one
