Award-winning author Rhys Bowen marries charming storytelling with an
edge-of-your-seat mystery set in early 20th-century New York City in
Bless the Bride.
With Molly Murphy's wedding to NYPD Captain Daniel Sullivan quickly
approaching, the Irish PI heads to the Westchester County countryside,
where Daniel's mother can counsel her on a bride's proper place.
Surprisingly, Molly seems to be agreeing with her future mother-in-law's
advice. Molly promises to leave her detective work behind and settle
down after becoming Daniel's wife...but she isn't married yet.
So when she gets word of a possible case, Molly sneaks back into the
city to squeeze in a little more sleuthing before the wedding bells can
ring. A wealthy Chinese immigrant wants Molly to find his missing bride.
Molly has a hunch that his intended has run off. But where could she
have gone--and where would she be? The only Chinese women of the era are
kept under house arrest, and Molly can't help but wonder whether she's
saving the bride-to-be from the streets...or helping to lock her away
for good.
