Murphy's Law is the captivating first entry of Rhys Bowen's New York Times bestselling Molly Murphy series. Meet Molly Murphy, a resourceful young woman who lives by her own set of laws... Molly Murphy always knew she'd end up in trouble, just as her mother had predicted. So when she commits murder in self-defence, she flees her cherished Ireland for the anonymous shores of America. When she arrives in New York and sees the welcoming promise of freedom in the Statue of Liberty, Molly begins to breathe a little easier. But when a man is murdered on Ellis Island, a man Molly was seen arguing with, she becomes a prime suspect in the crime. If she can't clear her name, Molly will be sent back to Ireland where the gallows await, so using her Irish charm and sharp wit, she escapes Ellis Island and sets out to find the wily killer on her own. Pounding the notorious streets of Hell's Kitchen and the Lower East Side, Molly undertakes a desperate mission to clear her name before her deadly past comes back to haunt her new future. 'Irish humour and gritty determination... with charm and optimism.' Anne Perry '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

If you start on this book, be prepared to read all the sequels. You won't be able to put them down! The historical information is accurate and well-researched. Rhys Bowen truly does her homework and makes New York, Ellis Island, and Molly Murphy come alive. Enjoy!

Good Beginning to series
The story begins with a woman from Ireland fleeing after an attempted rape and subsequent murder. Once she arrives in NY another murder occurs and she is again a suspect. The story is entertaining and the main character is certainly likeable. The only problem I had was the somewhat predictable way in which the novel wrapped up.
