This is a wonderful historical mystery that puts you into the world and the hard life of Irish immigrants to New York City at the turn of the century. Molly Murphy is on the run from her native Ireland. She finds herself caught up in a sordid murder of a not-so-nice individual who was on the ship. She has to find the murderer, all the while trying to find her own way and help the two young children who were put in her care. It's a terrific story. You will sympathize with the hardships and adventures of Molly all the way.
