Book Review of City of Darkness and Light (Molly Murphy, Bk 13)

City of Darkness and Light (Molly Murphy, Bk 13)
Helpful Score: 1


I've read all of Rhys Bowen's book and the Molly Murphy series is a favorite.

While I agree with the other reviewer about the interesting people Molly meets in Paris and the experience of being in a strange land, I found this book to have more day to day wanderings and less action than the other mysteries in this series. As an artist, I expected to really like her interactions with the artists of that era in Paris, but found the book to drag a little.

This book got off to such a fast start that I thought we would see her solving two mysteries in one book, one in America and one in Paris, but I felt like I was left hanging at the end of the book about her future in NY. I guess this will be another book, hopefully.

This was a good book, but definitely not the best of the series, in my opinion.
