Reviews"Molly Murphy, the plucky star of Rhys Bowen's mystery series...likes to fight for the underdog. And that makes her a worthy and likable heroine for this atmospheric (yes, it's snowing--endlessly!) holiday tale...Offbeat secondary characters like bohemian neighbors Sid and Gus (a cheery knockoff of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas) add to the period charm."-- USA Today "Heartwarming."-- Kirkus Reviews "Full of historical details and holiday spirit, this makes an excellent Yuletide read."-- Library Journal, "Entertaining...Molly Murphy is endearing, and her quick wit and sharp mind make her a protagonist to root for...Well written and fast paced, with a twist that will leave readers truly surprised. This novel is not to be missed." -- RT Book Reviews (4 stars "Bowen shrewdly explores the tension between a husband and his very independent wife as they both work to solve a complicated series of murders. One of Molly's best." -- Kirkus Reviews "The extremely tricky plot of Bowen's 14th Molly Murphy mystery will keep even veteran whodunit readers guessing...Bowen makes Molly's continued sleuthing plausible, even under her changed personal circumstances, and deftly plants clues so that the surprising final revelation makes perfect sense." -- Publishers Weekly, "Once again Rhys Bowen proves why she's one of the great mystery writers working today. She never, ever falls into formula... Atmospheric, tightly plotted, heart pounding, this is Bowen at her best."-Louise Penny"If you are one of the few on the planet yet to discover Molly Murphy, created by Rhys Bowen, now is the time to take the plunge. Molly is sassy, saucy, brave and smart."- The Huffington Post "Filled with intriguing characters, especially Molly herself... Bowen sets the stage with background information and hisotrical detail while she keeps the story moving." -RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

SynopsisIn this Christmas installment of Rhys Bowen's New York Times bestselling historical mystery series, Molly Murphy Sullivan's generosity to a beggar draws her into a dangerous investigation, From the author of In Farleigh Field ... It's Christmastime in 1905 New York City, and for once, Molly Murphy Sullivan is looking forward to the approaching holidays. She has a family of her own now: she and Daniel have a baby son and twelve-year-old Bridie is living with them as their ward. As Molly and the children listen to carolers in the street, they hear a lovely voice, the voice of an angel, and see a beggar girl huddled in a doorway, singing "Away in a Manger." Bridie is touched by the girl's ragged clothes and wants to help her out if they can. They give her a quarter, only to watch a bigger boy take it from her. But Molly discovers the boy is the girl's older brother. They've come from England and their mother has disappeared, and they're living with an aunt who mistreats them terribly. Molly quickly realizes that these children are not the usual city waifs. They are well-spoken and clearly used to better things. So who are they? And what's happened to their mother? As Molly looks for a way to help the children and for the answers to these questions, she gets drawn into an investigation that will take her up to the highest levels of New York society. This is another compelling and richly drawn mystery from New York Times bestseller Rhys Bowen.
