In Belfast, fate introduces her to Kathleen O'Connor and her two small children, Seamus and Bridie. Molly gets to Belfast, but the police catch up to her pretty quickly. With a murder on the very first page and a heroine on the run, this reader expected Molly's arrival in New York City to happen in double quick time, but instead, the plot nearly grinds to a stop while still in Ireland. Defending herself from the unwelcome advances of the local landowner's son, Molly Murphy, not yet twenty-three, becomes an inadvertent murderer on the run, forced to emigrate from Ballykilleen, Ireland and become an amateur private investigator in the waning days of New York's Gilded Age. Winner of the 2001 Agatha Award for “Best Novel,” Rhys Bowen's initial entry into the Molly Murphy Mysteries series, Murphy's Law, begins with Molly proving true her mother's frequently repeated sentiment that she “would be getting…into big trouble one day.” Her poor sainted mother is dead now, and “one day” has arrived. It won the 2001 Agatha Award for “Best Novel.” Murphy's Law by Rhys Bowen is the first entry in the popular Molly Murphy Mysteries series.
