A review by pontiki
Death of Riley by Rhys Bowen

4.0

I enjoyed the world of New York in the early 1900s, and going around with Molly as she searches for Paddy's killer. I did guess who it was, although I was misled for a bit.

What I didn't get was the how. How this seemingly minor character would be the murderer. Now I see, and it was a huge event in history. I love the intertwining of the truth with fiction, and Molly's cleverness in searching for the killer.

The romance is a bit lacking, especially since Daniel's engaged, but it's nice. I love all the characters from the Village, and the old woman Molly was the companion for, for a few days anyway.

Looking forward to reading the next book.
