Where Can I Find A Complete List Of Molly Murphy Books In Order?
I love this historical mystery series but keep getting lost between the novels and short story collections. A clear publication and chronological order list would really help.

My Kindle has been a lifesaver for this. When you buy one book in a series, Amazon will often show you 'Series Page' where all the titles are listed in order. You can even 'see all books in series' right from your library. It's seamlessly integrated. If you read on a Kindle or use the Kindle app, that's probably the easiest, most integrated way to track your progress. It'll even suggest the next book when you finish one. For a tech-assisted solution, it's very low-effort and accurate.

I'm skeptical of any single source. Publishers mess up, websites have outdated info, and even authors sometimes forget where a short story fits. My strategy is triangulation. I open three tabs: the author's site, Fantastic Fiction, and Wikipedia. If all three agree, that's the canon. If there's a discrepancy, I check the copyright page of the physical book via Google Books preview. The truth is usually in the book itself. It's a bit more work, but you'll never be wrong. For a series this long, it's worth the five extra minutes.

I just ask my mom. She's read every single one and has them on a dedicated shelf in order. Some of us still have human databases in our lives! Failing that, ask in a Facebook fan group for Rhys Bowen or for cozy mysteries. Those groups are full of people who have spreadsheets and printable trackers. They love helping new readers. Sometimes the old-school social media groups have a warmer, more detailed response than a generic search. You might even get personalized recommendations on which ones are the best.

Just lurk in the comments here. Someone always posts the full list in a thread like this. It's the wisdom of crowds! I often find the best, most nuanced answers (like which order truly matters for character arcs) in the replies to the top comment. People love to correct minor inaccuracies, which results in a crowd-verified list. Save the post and come back later—the list will materialize. It's how I found out about a rare short story set between books 4 and 5.

I'm just here for the vibes. Everyone's talking lists, and I'm just remembering how cozy the first book was. The early 1900s New York setting just does it for me. Might have to do a re-read soon, in whatever order my library app gives them to me. Sorry, not helpful for the list, but a mood.

Some desires are beautiful.
Some are unpredictable.
And some just simply cross the line.

From brooding family members to work enemies who can't stay away from each other, each story will pull you deeper into a world where desire burns hot, hearts are put on the line, and every release comes at a price.
One hundred stories.
One hundred obsessions.
Countless reasons to blow caution to the wind.
I read them wildly out of order based on what my library had available, and I regret it. I spoiled a major romantic development for myself because I read a later book first. The mysteries were fine, but the personal stuff was a jumbled mess in my head.
I eventually started over from book one and it was a much richer experience. Learn from my mistake!
Never gets old explaining the Molly Murphy order. Start with 'Murphy's Law'—that's where it all kicks off in 1901 New York. The series follows her cases chronologically, so publication order is the intended reading experience. You could technically jump around, but you'd miss the character growth and lingering plot threads.
'Death of Riley', 'For the Love of Mike', and 'In Like Flynn' come next. By 'In Dublin's Fair City', she's back in Ireland, which is a great change of scenery. Honestly, sticking to the list on Rhys Bowen's website is your safest bet, as she's the author and knows the timeline best.
I stumbled upon this series years ago and got hooked, but the order threw me for a loop at first because some lists mix up the original novels and the later anthologies. You want to start with 'Murphy's Law' – it's the origin story for Molly in 1901 New York. Then just go by publication date: 'Death of Riley', 'For the Love of Mike', and so on. I'd skip the anthologies like 'The Molly Murphy Mysteries' until you've read the core novels they collect, or you'll hit major spoilers.
A quick tip – the author, Rhys Bowen, also writes the Royal Spyness series, and there's a tiny bit of stylistic crossover in the early books. The reading order gets really solid around book four or five; the character dynamics with Daniel Sullivan and the historical details about early 20th-century New York become the backbone of the whole thing. My paperback copy of 'In Like Flynn' has a list in the front that I still check sometimes.
I noticed her Kindle editions often have 'Also by' lists at the back that are hyperlinked. That's a fantastic digital feature. You can finish a book and immediately click to the first book of the related series. It's a dynamic, choose-your-own-adventure style list built into the reading experience itself.
You could technically read any book for the mystery, but you'd miss so much context. Why is she anxious around police? Why does she live where she does? Her entire life situation is explained progressively from book one onward.
