Synopses & Reviews
In the latest in Rhys Bowen's award-winning historical series, Molly Murphy is supposed to give up sleuthing now that shes married, but the murder of an alderman puts her on the trail of a killer.
Molly Murphy, now Molly Sullivan, and her husband Daniel, a captain in the New York Police department, have been invited to spend their honeymoon on the Newport, RI, estate of Alderman Brian Hannan in the spring of 1904. Molly doesnt entirely trust the offer. Hannan—an ambitious man—has his eye on a senate seat and intentions of taking Tammany Hall to get it. When Hannan is found dead at the base of the cliffs that overlook the Atlantic, Mollys suspicions are quickly justified, and as much as she wants to keep her promise to Daniel that she wont do any more sleuthing now, there isnt much she can do once the chase is on. Rhys Bowens brilliant wit and charm are on full display in Hush Now, Dont You Cry, another outstanding addition to her Agatha and Anthony award-winning historical series.
