In Like Flynn by Rhys Bowen
4.0
I really enjoyed this mystery! Rhys Bowen writes well, and the book does not have any boring parts that I wanted to skim through. Hooray! This is the first book in the Molly Murphy Mystery series, and I know I missed some details about the characters, but I don't think it hurt my understanding of the book at all.
One flaw that I noted was on page 277. The ladies wanted Molly to sit and have some lemonade. On page 277, they handed her punch, and on the next page, it was back to lemonade. Maybe at the turn of the century punch and lemonade were the same?
At first I wasn't sure I liked Molly because she was so fiercely independent. I love me an independent woman, but she was also a bit brash. I'm not sure when it changed, but it may have been about the time she went to Adare. I saw a softer yet observant side of Molly. I do suspect the Flynn mystery will continue to be solved in an upcoming novel, and I'm excited to hopefully find out the ending to that portion of the mystery. It appears that the Justin Hartley mystery was further solved in this reading, so I know there is a solid connection amongst the books.
If you like mysteries, stories about strong, independent Irish women, and stories about the early 1900s, you will enjoy this book.
