A fan of Molly Murphy and turn of the 20th century detective novels, this first book is a necessary read to grasp Molly's circumstances of arriving in the United States. This is a series for which it is highly beneficial to read in sequential order, as characters lives and relationships evolve from one novel to the next. Molly is plucky, red haired and Irish (including the infamous temper) and always one step away from disaster. She is highly independent for a woman at the turn of the 1900's and would rather get into a predicament from which she has to extricate herself (often with need of help), rather than have to depend on the services of an infuriating man, notably the captain of the New York Police, with whom she is desperately falling in love.
