About book Bless The Bride. Rhys Bowen (2011)

Sometimes I underestimate the tightrope that authors of historical fiction have to tread. So many expressions that are off limits. I was made aware of this when Molly Murphy made use of the word 'shock', meaning 'culture shock'. Yet that expression wasn't part of the vernacular in 1903. The author, Rhys Bowen, draws inspiration from actual events and real persons that were alive back then. Sometimes the resulting book is mediocre, but that doesn't apply to Bless the Bride. Rhys Bowen has got her groove back. I just wish that these books didn't end with the new Molly Sullivan nee Murphy putting her life on the line. I just don't see this being vital to the plot. But this is a time for relief and thankfulness, for a job well done. I can add more, but with this watershed of a book, I don't need to. Molly is, once again, making foolish decisions. She is almost lying to Daniel. She makes promises she doesn't keep and she doesn't feel guilty about that. I'm getting rather fed up with her. If I were Daniel, I'd call the wedding off.I admit to being disappointed in this book. The culprit was rather predicatable because this character was over described. I figured it out by page 53 and no murder had yet taken place. Rather disappointing.
