review 1: A fantastic novella for Halloween. I always love the spunky story's of Lady Georgiana's (34th to the crown) adventures. She is a wonderfully down to earth young woman, who at the most inappropriate times becomes quite clumsy. In this Halloween romp she is summoned to attend a co...

review 1: Sadly, this book ended up being my least favorite in the series so far. The characters I've grown to love didn't play much: just a scene or two with Darcy and Belinda, Queenie must have been asleep on the bed the whole time. Séances and homosexual references didn't help either....

review 1: Do you remember when PBS featured their British Mystery series complete with Edward Gory's macabre artwork and a startled scream at intermission? This series evokes all the farcical charm of the historical mystery and melodrama genres. Poor broke Lady Georgie, stuck in dreary o...

review 1: Finally, Molly seems to be drawing some boundaries with Daniel that leave me room to hope she will not lose herself in the marriage. Not that I’m a fan (still want him to go away), but he at least became bearable by the end, and a marriage between them seems less a plot contrivan...

review 1: Has Molly lost all common sense? Is she daft? Why would she do some of the things she did in this book? Why would she risk herself and her unborn child for a woman she never knew? Once again, Molly defies all logic. She doesn't think about her actions and how they affect others, ...

review 1: I'm a new reader of the Molly Murphy series, having started with the latest book, The Family Way, so I appreciated the similar setting, as Molly adjusts to married life but still can't stop the urge to investigate when she's asked. This short story, about a woman who invites Moll...

review 1: I was torn between awarding this book three and four stars. Definitely four for the story but three for the ending which came across somewhat abrupt. I've been to Newport several times and am pleased to say Ms. Bowen captured its essence. The mystery was good and I enjoyed mos...

review 1: So here's the deal: I saw Molly Murphy #13 at my library, was interested, but felt I needed to read the prior books first. As a result, I have been steadily making my way through the series, bringing me to book 10, in which Molly is getting ready for her wedding while investigati...

review 1: It was OK. I bought it on my Kindle for 99 cents. But it was only 53 pages so I read it in about 25 minutes or less. I didn't know it was such a short book. I usually read series in order but didn't realize this one was so far down and was just made, I guess, as a short story...
