Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced digital copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I KNOW I read this book!! I remember the story and that I didn't like it much.

Molly Murphy is one of those "Forrest Gump" characters who always seem to be in the middle of major historic events. This time, it is the San Francisco earthquake. It is turn-of-the-century New York and Molly's husband is, once again, in trouble with the brass at what will be the NYPD. He is offered a super secret assignment which he cannot share with Molly and she doesn't even know where he is. Then she sees a newspaper photo of him in San Francisco and she packs herself off to find out what is going on. When she arrives, she is told he is dead, so she may as well just go home. But Molly doesn't believe her husband has died without her feeling the loss, so she investigates. The earthquake interrupts her, and everyone else's, life, but in the end all is well.
