My Current Interest

     I have to say this.  In Dublin’s Fair City is by far the most convoluted book of the Molly Murphy mystery series.  It makes me wonder what is going to happen in future books.  If this story could stretch as much as it did, the rest of the series could go anywhere.      Private Investigator Molly Murphy needs to get out of town.   Her boyfriend, Daniel Sullivan , is on trial for a crime he didn’t commit .   He is in a constantly bad mood and is very controlling.   That’s why when Molly gets the opportunity to leave town and help her detective agency , she takes it.   The one problem is Molly will have to return to Ireland, where there may be a warrant out for her arrest.
