'Irish humour and gritty determination ... with charm and optimism.' Anne Perry

‘Irish humour and gritty determination . . . with charm and optimism.’ Anne PerryWhen New York theatre impresario Tommy Burke asks Molly Murphy to help him take care of some family business back in Ireland, Molly is happy to oblige. Tempted by the prospect of going home for the first time in years (and putting her fledging detective agency on firm financial ground), Molly throws caution to the wind and climbs aboard the White Start Liner Majestic with hopes of sneaking on and off the isle without raising a peep. Until one passenger, who happens to be a famous Broadway actress goes missing—and another turns up dead. So much for smooth sailing . . .

Delightful . . . as ever, Bowen does a splendid job of capturing the flavour of early twentieth-century New York and bringing to life its warm and human inhabitants. * Publishers Weekly *
Molly grows ever more engaging against a vibrant background of New York’s dark side at the turn of the century. * Kirkus Reviews *
