In Sunshine or in Shadow

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. Thank you to them, the authors and publisher. This is my honest review. This is the first in the Molly Murphy Mysteries that I have read and my thought is, “What took me so long?!” This book was so engaging. It's about Molly who leaves the city to stay with her mother-in-law in the country and then goes to visit her friends Sid and Gus at a Women's Retreat. They all become mixed up in the murder of a man at Sid's grandparents' home. I thought it was really well done. The characters were so interesting and wonderfully strong female characters. I enjoyed the interaction between them, Sid and Gus's relationship and Molly's dedication to her friends and to solving the crime.

It takes place in the 20's or 30's and I enjoyed the description of everything going on in New York at that time as well. Definitely a 5/5 read. Don't miss this one.
