Summary

From Rhys Bowen, the author of In Farleigh Field, comes the next Molly Murphy mystery: The Ghost of Christmas Past.

Semi-retired private detective Molly Murphy Sullivan is suffering from depression after a miscarriage following her adventure in San Francisco during the earthquake of 1906. She and her husband, Daniel, are invited for Christmas at a mansion on the Hudson, and they gratefully accept, expecting a peaceful and relaxing holiday season. Not long after they arrive, however, they start to feel the tension in the house's atmosphere. Then they learn that the host couple's young daughter wandered out into the snow ten years ago and was never seen again.

Molly can identify with the mother's pain at never knowing what happened to her child and wants to help, but there is so little to go on. No ransom note. No body ever found. But Molly slowly begins to suspect that the occupants of the house know more than they are letting on. Then, on Christmas Eve, there is a knock at the door and a young girl stands there. "I'm Charlotte," she says. "I've come home."

Great!

Really enjoyed another Rhys Bowen book. Excellent characters, and a full, detailed story. I do hope this isn’t her last book as she can be relied upon to fulfill the promise of getting lost in a good book. Add to that good narration and you can’t go wrong. Thank you Rhys Bowen ❤️❤️

Phew!

When I couldn’t buy this Kindle, I was dismayed! Thankfully a free trial with audible allowed me to catch up with Molly & Co! Another page turner, even right till the end! Only problem now is waiting for the next one!

Missing Molly already!!

Sorry to finish the this one, as I understand it might be the last... I do hope there will be more one day though?! In the meantime, thank you Rhys Bowen, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series and will miss your wonderfully believable cast of characters and fascinating glimpse into the past. Fingers crossed you find the time to return to her story again one day! :-)

The Ghost of Christmas Past

This is a brilliant detective story where she finds a sad story and tries to find out what really happened. Read brilliantly by Nicole Barbara.
