About this title

From the Author:

Molly Murphy is a very different character from Constable Evans in my other series. She's brash, flamboyant and doesn't always know when it is good to keep her mouth shut.

She is thus destined for a life of trouble, and fun.

Fans seem to identify strongly with her.
