Bowen has great fun with inserting Pablo Picasso, Edgar Degas, Gertrude Stein and Mary Cassatt into the story. Ever intrepid, Molly sets off to find them, navigating the unfamiliar city and language with her usual plucky courage.Īlong the way, she lands in the midst of the burgeoning Parisian art scene. Secondly, when she arrives at the rented apartment of her friends Sid and Gus, she discovers them missing.
Firstly, she’s escaping the Cosa Nostra gang, who are presumably the culprits behind the house fire that killed her nanny and almost cost Molly her life. Now married to police Captain Daniel Sullivan and mother to baby Liam, she winds up traveling to Paris, but it’s not as glamorous as she’d expected. She’s become a private detective, facing all manners of dangerous criminals. She escaped from Ireland and is wanted by the law in New York City. Molly Sullivan, nee Molly Murphy, is a fighter. City of Darkness and Light by Rhys Bowen, the thirteenth novel in the Molly Murphy historical series, follows the young mother to Paris in 1905, where she loses track of friends and stumbles onto a murder (available March 4, 2014).
