I have read everyone of your Molly Murphy books and have enjoyed them immensely. My mother was of Irish heritage (3 grandparents born in Ireland and 1 in USA) and my dad (first generation Polish American) was raised by Irish American nuns to it was like growing up in an Irish home. My dad adored anyone Irish heritage and preferred all things Irish (including his music). Your stories struck a chord with me because my great grandfather, John Joseph Smith, was a New York City policeman. He eventually left the job because he was arresting too many Irish and placing them in the infamous "paddy wagons." As a history major in college, I preferred American history and your accuracy in telling these stories intrigues me. Of course, placing your heroine in NYC near the Hudson and environs reminds me of my childhood on Long Island and upper NYS. You included Toora Loora Loora, the lullaby that my parents sang to me at bedtime. To this day, hearing that song still makes me sleepy. Thank you, Rhys Bowen, thank you, thank you. I love the series but I am particularly enthralled with this latest book. I am reading Hush Don’t You Cry. I have read everyone of your Molly Murphy books and have enjoyed them immensely.

Two errors on jacket for Hush Now , Don't You Cry: -the man's name is Brian Hannan not Brian Hanna. -the story does NOT take place in the spring of 1904. The first page, ch. 1, says OCTOBER 8, 1903. The story takes place w/i a few days. I am guessing I have to shorten my comments?

I just finished Hush Now, Don't You Cry and it was excellent. As an avid reader, I am used to occasional "typos" in books but i wanted to tell you about two things that do not fall into the "typo" category. I am assuming that the publisher (and I will send them an email as well) had more to do w/this than you as it concerns the jacket of Hush Now, Don't You Cry. (I am a big jacket reader!) The first paragraph on the jacket reads: "Molly Murphy, now Molly Sullivan, and her new husband, Daniel,a captain in the New York Police Department, have been invited to spend their honeymoon on the Newport, Rhode Island, estate of Alderman Brian Hanna in the spring of 1904." First of all, the man's name is HANNAN. Second of all, the story takes place beginning on OCTOBER 8, 1903 (at the top of pg. 1, chapter one) and never proceeds anywhere near 1904. (I thought at first the story began then but continued into the spring, but obviously it didn't). You probably have already been told about these two errors, but in the event you haven't, I thought you would want to know.
