Molly Murphy Sullivan's husband, Daniel, a police captain in turn-of-the-century New York City, is in a precarious position. The new police commissioner wants him off the force altogether. So when Daniel's offered an assignment from John Wilkie, head of the Secret Service, he's eager to accept.

Molly can't draw any details of the assignment out of him, even where he'll be working. But when she spots him in San Francisco during a movie news segment, she starts to wonder if he's in even more danger than she had first believed. And then she receives a strange and cryptic letter from him, leading her to conclude that he wants her to join him in San Francisco. Molly knows that if Daniel's turning to her rather than John Wilkie or his contacts in the police force, something must have gone terribly wrong. What can she do for him that the police can't? Especially when she doesn't even know what his assignment is?

Embarking on a cross-country journey with her young son, Molly can't fathom what's in store for her, but she knows it might be dangerous - in fact, it might put all of their lives at risk.

I love this series, a bit of mystery told with a splash of humor. The narration in top notch. I love Nicola Barber so well, I have searched out other series she has narrated. This series generally focuses on the characters and their lives, with the mystery being secondary, which is fine with me. I like a change and variety now and then from the nail biting thrillers. Also love the fact that they are historical...love a look into the past...should have been born in an earlier time:)

Excellent author, charming series!

This was one novel where the story actually became secondary to the setting. The descriptions of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake and its aftermath were truly gripping. This was historical storytelling at its finest. This was also one of my favorite performances by Nicola Barber who absolutely nailed a variety of voices and accents.

This was an excellent story - intrigue and un-expected turns. Would probably speaks more to the female gender - but enough intrigue for those who emjoy

Unexpected twist and turns all over the place as Molly gets herself into all sorts of scrapes. Another great book in the series.

And the great stories keep coming

It’s hard to properly review the 16th installment of a series - if you’re already a fan and have made it this far in the series, you don’t need any feedback because you’ll read every new book no matter what!

All I can offer is the same advice as what I wrote for Book 15: If this is your first Molly-Book then stop right now and start with Book 1; it's totally worth it.

I’m hooked and ready for Book 17 :)

Another Fun Adventure!

it kept me waiting for the next chapter. It had some heart breaking parts. When she thought her husband was dead and when she lost her son. I love all Molly Murphy Mysteries. The narrator was great.

it was wonderful .
