Rhys Bowens deft touch and charming wit make Bless the Bride another stellar addition to her Anthony and Agatha Award--winning historical series. Irish sleuth Molly Murphy is hired to find a girl on the run in Chinatown only to find that the man who wanted her found has been killed in Rhys Bowens tenth in this award-winning series. With Molly Murphys wedding to NYPD Captain Daniel Sullivan quickly approaching, the Irish sleuth heads to the Westchester County countryside, where his mother can lend her a hand and advise her on a brides proper place. And shockingly, Molly seems to be agreeing. She has already promised that shell close up her P.I. business and settle down after marrying, but she isnt a married woman yet. So, when she gets word of a possible case, she sneaks back into the city to squeeze in a little more sleuthing before the wedding bells can ring. A wealthy Chinese immigrant wants her to find his missing bride, and Molly--sure she isnt getting the whole story--suspects that his bride ran off. But where could she go? The only Chinese women in early-twentieth-century New York are kept under lock and key, and Molly cant help but wonder if shes saving the woman from the streets or helping to lock her away for good.
