Looking for a good book? I recently read "In a Gilded Cage" by Rys Bowen and loved it! I checked it out at the library and didn't realize it was part of a series. It's apparently number eight in a series of 16 called the Molly Murphy Mysteries. Since reading this book I have read more in the series and although it helps to have read the previous books, you would enjoy it on it's own.
Here is the summary from the back of the book:
"It’s Easter Sunday 1918, and Irish immigrant Molly Murphy has agreed to march down Fifth Avenue with the sign-wielding suffragettes from Vassar—a civil act of protest that lands her in jail. Molly’s betrothed, Police Captain Daniel Sullivan, manages to spring her from the clink, though his hands are full dealing with Chinese opium gangs. But as soon as she’s free, Molly marches straight into trouble again. Two of the Vassar alumni need Molly’s help as a private investigator. One believes her uncle is cheating her out of an inheritance; the other suspects her husband is cheating with other women. And when one of the clients dies—presumably from influenza, which is sweeping the city—Molly takes to the streets once more. Not to win the right for women to vote, but to reveal the wrongs of some very evil men…"
