I always enjoy Molly Murphy. A strong heroine, engaging mysteries with plots I never unravel, fantastic historical setting, and at least a dollop of romance. Though I will say I'm not sold on Molly's current love triangle. I also love that theres always importance placed on friendships. This one tasks Molly with finding a missing girl who eloped with her bad boy bf from Ireland, and also with finding out who is smuggling designs across sweatshops.

rjsthumbelina Cont: As she gets more entwined, Molly also tries to help improve conditions for the girls working in the sweatshops, which I also loved to see her taking up that cause. 6y

Finished 3 out of 4 for the #Scallywagathon! Only prompt left to hit is 10: assessing the booty (recent haul). Fortunately my ipad is stocked with ARCs that I downloaded yesterday, so I will be picking one of those and trying to read it today
Prompt 4: low tide (under 200 pgs): In An Absent Dream
Prompt 7: blow down the man (female author): For the Love of Mike
Detour B: angle of attack (problem facing today's society): Rage Becomes Her

My library loan was going to expire at midnight, and me only halfway through the book! (With of course, someone else having it on hold.) What's a girl to do but buy the digital copy for myself? Especially with such an engaging plot and lovable kick-ass heroine as Molly!
