Hush Now, Don't You Cry

Match and despatch in one fell swoop

Molly Murphy, now Molly Sullivan, and her new husband Daniel, a captain in the New York Police Department, have been invited to spend their honeymoon on the Rhode Island estate of Alderman Brian Hannan. It s such a generous offer that Molly doesn t entirely trust it, especially as Hannan is an extraordinarily ambitious man and wants Daniel s advice on a private matter.

And then Hannan is found dead at the base of the cliffs overlooking the sea, even before he has had a chance to welcome them. Molly s suspicions are quickly justified and as much as she wants to keep her promise to Daniel that she won t do any more sleuthing now they are married, there isn t much she can do once the chase is on!
