About this listen

Molly Murphy's beau Captain Daniel Sullivan may be out of jail on bail, but he's still a ways from clearing his name, and his foul mood has Molly in search of a little breathing room when providence steps in in the form of a proposition from New York City's renowned theatrical impresario Tommy Burke.

America has been very good to Tommy, and now that he's getting on in years, he'd like to pass some of that good fortune on to his family back in Ireland. That's, of course, if Molly can find the long-lost baby sister his family left in the care of a parish priest when they fled the famine and avoid the warrant out for her arrest that forced Molly to flee herself. Tempted by the prospect of going home for the first time in years and putting her fledging detective agency on firm financial ground, Molly throws caution to the wind and climbs aboard the White Start Liner Majestic with hopes of sneaking on and off the isle without raising a peep.

But even before Molly lands on the other side of the Atlantic, Broadway's leading actress, Oona Sheehan, has gone missing from the ship, and her maid is found dead in her cabin.

Full of rich historic detail and enchanting turn-of-the-century personalities, Molly's return home, In Dublin's Fair City, is the sixth thrilling installment in Rhys Bowen's award-winning Molly Murphy series.

In Dublin's Fair City

This one seems to be darker than previous one's Only one murder to solve bug a very exciting journey. Read brilliantly by Nicola Barber.

Another great one, just one let down

The only thing that lets this book down is the fact that the narrator did no research on the pronunciation of Irish names. She didn’t get one right. Quite frustrating really when there’s a simple fix.
But other than that another great Molly Murphy mystery. I’m totally hooked on the series.

Disappointing Narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Disappointing fact finding & research regarding Irish places

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Narratation would be improved if proper pronunciation was used. It is not difficult to find out how to pronounce Irish names & French placenames. Let the story down.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nicola Barber’s performances?

Possibly not in this series.

Was In Dublin's Fair City worth the listening time?

Overall, not too bad.

Any additional comments?

Some accents are a distraction
