Summary
Molly Murphy finds her next case while walking in New York City's Easter Parade on behalf of Women's Suffrage. Emily engages her to find the truth behind her parents' deaths. During Molly's investigation, she also becomes involved in a domestic case, but the wife passes away before the truth is revealed. Was her death really murder? And which of these cases has caused Molly's life to be in jeopardy?
Critique
Great characters with interesting issues add the emotional element to a smart, well-written mystery. The historical details are educational without being dull, and the end is a clever surprise. It may be eighth in the series, but it can be read on its own, too. Recommended read.
