Summary

Molly Murphy Sullivan's husband, Daniel, a captain in the New York City police force, is stumped. He's chasing a murderer whose victims have nothing in common--nothing except for the taunting notes that are delivered to Daniel after each murder. And when Daniel receives a note immediately after Molly and her young son, Liam, are in a terrible train crash, Daniel and Molly both begin to fear that maybe Molly herself was the target. Molly's detective instincts are humming, but finding the time to dig deeper into this case is a challenge. She's healing from injuries sustained in the crash and is sidetracked by her friends Sid and Gus's most recent hobby: dream analysis. And when Molly herself starts suffering from strange dreams, she wonders if they just might hold the key to solving Daniel's murder case.

Rhys Bowen's characteristic blend of atmospheric turn-of-the-century history, clever plotting, and sparkling characters will delight readers in The Edge of Dreams, the latest in her best-selling Molly Murphy series.

Cosy stuff

This was my first book in this series.
The main protagonist’s Irish accent wasn’t real but after a while it faded into the background as I was drawn in by the excellent narration.
A cosy mystery with enough clues and red herrings to maintain one’s interest to the end.

The Edge of Dreams

This is a brilliant detective story and although she struggles to make sense of it, in the end she puts herself in danger to find the truth. Read brilliantly by Nicole Barbara

Quite enjoyable, but a few annoying aspects,

The story line is quite good and it's interesting to see how times have changed.
It does finish in rather a hurry, as though the author got bored at the end and wanted to finish it off quickly.
The narrator does a good job, really, with two exceptions. (1) The main female character's voice is too highly pitched and she sounds like a little child, and (b) the Irish accent is a little off, in as much as the letter 's', which is pronounced differently by many Irish speakers, (possibly called a 'broad s' but I'm not sure) and comes out quite 'airy', whereas the narrator has turned this into a lisp ie a 'th'.
