Audio narration: 2 stars
Story 3-3.5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Molly Murphy Mystery series by Rhys Bowen and in this book, Molly is actually employed by the NYPD (aka Daniel O'Sullivan - the man she's trying not to love) to go undercover in a senator's house where he is hosting a pair of sisters who claim thy are clairvoyant and can help the senator's wife talk to their son who died following a tragic kidnapping years ago. Naturally, Molly jumps head first, while also trying to figure out the blurry details around the boy's kidnapping and why he was never found.

To start off, I have to say how disappointed I was with the audio narration of this. The last three books were all narrated by Irish actress Lara Hutchinson. who did a great job with Molly's voice as well as all the other nationalities in the stories. However, for some reason the narrator was changed to Nicola Barber who is English and CANNOT do a steady Irish accent. She sounded completely different to past Molly, her dialect kept changing ao it seemed like Molly was from every part of Ireland at once and then suddenly the Northern Irish characters that were in the story no longer had their Northern Irish accent. One of the boys also had a weird New York accent after having an Irish one in the past books. Barber obviously did no research in how Lara Hutchinson had previously read out the characters, and I feel like this was poor and did a disservice to the previously good narration of the book and the reader. It made me feel discombobulated for a while as I felt like the characters were new people and they no longer felt familiar to me.

The story itself wasn't bad as always though like always everything came to luck and circumstance rather than any great skill on Molly's part. Most things tend to fall into her lap the moment she needs them and she has a tendency to do some silly things. I was sucked into the mystery of Brendan's disappearance and really had no idea who could have been the mastermind of the kidnapping. I liked that some of Molly's past came back to haunt her in this book as well, though it made me feel anxious for her so I hope it leaves it at that now! Molly and Daniel's relationship is dragging on a bit now and I wish he would get a move on dumping his fiancee.I though poor Jakob was disserviced in this book too as he had been so lovely in the third book - it was very much like Molly had forgotten he existed for most of the book.

As always, I did end up having an entertaining read and will continue on with the series.
