Molly Murphy's mother told her she was trouble as soon as Molly learned to talk. Molly was told that if her mouth didn't get her in trouble, her curiosity would. Well, Molly is surely in trouble. She is an Irish peasant who has just killed an aristocrat. She knows that it won't matter that she killed in self-defense, so she runs away. She ends up on a ship to America having assumed the identity of another woman. There is more trouble in store for her when she arrives at Ellis Island - a murder is committed and the police keep coming back to Molly to question her. This was a fun murder mystery. I liked the descriptions of turn of the century the immigrant experience - those people had to be tough!
