Maggie Sullivan Mysteries #2
Tough Cookie
When Depression-era private eye Maggie Sullivan is invited to dine with a millionaire, she doesn’t expect the first course to be a gun in her face. It draws her into a gold-plated web of theft, revenge, double crosses and murder.
A big-time swindle has made fools of some of the city’s wealthiest businessmen. The man behind it has vanished. When Maggie begins asking questions, he reappears – dead in the river. But she’s already learned too much. Someone’s out to silence her too.
Armed with her .38 and a nip of gin, Maggie closes in on a killer as a mobster offers a hint, a cop unsettles her with his chemistry, and a woman with deadly potential plays a game by her own rules.

When I discovered No Game for a Dame, Myer's first book in this series featuring Maggie Sullivan, it was a wonderful surprise. I loved that Maggie was a female private detective along the lines of the hard-boiled male protagonists in Chandler and Hammett that could really hold her own with the tough guys. In this sequel, Maggie Sullivan starts out with a missing person case that turns quickly to murder, and I was again swept away to the late 1930s mean streets of Dayton, Ohio.
Tough Cookie (which can be read as a stand alone) has all the elements you look for in a hard-boiled mystery: good old-fashioned detective footwork, a wealthy client, a ditzy dame, loyal servants, smooth-talking lotharios, hard liquor bottles in the desk drawer, fast cars, and gun-play. I couldn't put the book down, and while I guessed "who done it," I didn't care, because I was having so much fun, right down to the end that totally surprised me with a twist. I highly recommend Tough Cookie, and I can't wait for the next installment.

The second Maggie Sullivan novel is even better than the first. What I said then still applies, so I'll just quote myself:
"Maggie Sullivan is a Private Detective in the 1930s. She's smart and quick and good at what she does. The sexism (and racism) of the era isn't ignored, but it isn't overwhelming, and Maggie makes as much use of the stereotypes surrounding her gender as she encounters difficulties because of them."

Very enjoyable old school PI story, with plenty of fun humor and thrills. Maggie Sullivan is a female PI in the 1930s, working in Cincinnati, Ohio. She's tough enough but never becomes a guy with a skirt on as many modern female characters are written. There are some few small flaws in period jargon or historical reference (a millionaire suggests a character should play for the NFL but at that time the NFL was very minor and everyone was focused on college football, for instance) but nothing that takes you out of the story.

Tough Cookie by M. Ruth Myers
Maggie Sullivan pistol whips a breath of fresh air into the moldy corpse of the hard boiled dick. (No Snicker, come on, we are all adults here!) It is about time that the stalwarts like Travis McGee and Mike Hammer moved over for a broad with an attitude, a dame, a gat carrying, nylon wearing DAME! (Same intro as the last review of an M. Ruth Myers' Maggie Sullivan book but I still like it.)
Maggie's client has been swindled and he is not happy. He wants Maggie to find out what hole the dirty rotten rat has slithered into and drag him out by his slimy skinny tail.
Maggie, as usual, ends up butting heads with both authority and the nefarious villains. Equally as usual, her good heart, surrounds her with stalwart aides and companions.
The depths of the Great Depression flesh out the scenery in this book. The vernacular of the time is used but understandable. The mystery has sufficient depth to keep your attention and enough gritty realism to make it believable.
Connelly's revelations about Ireland add additional veracity to the book, brief as that revelation was. Myers does a good job making her characters breathe.
I recommend the book and look forward to seeing more of Maggie Sullivan.

This is the second Maggie Sullivan mystery that I have read. These mysteries are great fun. The setting is during the depression and the author does a great job of describing the clothes, cars, jargon and lingo of the period. Maggie is a single gal that runs her own private detective agency.
In this story, Maggie has been hired by a very wealthy man to find out what happened to a man that swindled him out of some money. Evidently, he wasn't the only one swindled and one of the other victims committed suicide.
So, Maggie sets off to find the mysterious Mr. Draper. Naturally, the situation gets sticky in a hurry. Maggie once again finds herself in danger.
These mysteries should appeal to all mystery lovers no matter what style of mystery you like to read. There's a little of a hard boiled detective, little women's sleuths, a little bit of a cozy element, and some darker themes as well. There isn't any SC or graphic violence and the language is mild. Another enjoyable installment in this series. Overall an A.

Excellent sequel! About the only "quibbles" I can manage are that I was surprised to learn Maggie is only in her early 20s as her character seems more mature than that by at least a decade. Top-notch writing, though I could have used a scorecard (cast of characters) in a few places to keep track of the names.

I loved this book. It is set in Dayton, Ohio in 1939. I lived in Dayton for more than 25 years. The geographical references, the street locations, and even the McCrory's downtown where Maggie has breakfast each morning, are all real and properly placed. I ate at that same lunch counter when I was a teenager. The story was engaging and the mystery was suitably baffling until the end, but without pulling a fast one by adding a piece of knowledge withheld from the reader as some books do. Even if you don't know Dayton, this is a terrific story.

Maggie Sullivan is a 24-year-old private investigator in 1939 Dayton who gets hired to track down Harold Draper, a man who scammed thousands of dollars out of the wealthy in society in M. Ruth Meyers' Tough Cookie. As Maggie meets with her client, Mr. Wildman, for the first time, she proves herself resourceful when the man's drunk sister shows up at the house with a gun that Maggie disarms the woman of cleverly. This experience confirms to Wildman that Maggie is the one for the job.

2021 bk 98. Set in 1930's Dayton, Ohio. Maggie Sullivan is an Irish-American private eye. When called upon to find an embezzler, a simple search turns into far more as the embezzler turns up murdered, someone keeps trying to kill or scare Maggie off the case, and there are men who insist on wanting to date/distract her. Well researched, very descriptive writing of a time and place that might easily be ignored.

This novel is the second in a series, and I am happy to report that I enjoyed it just as much as the first. In fact, although some will surely think this sacrilege, I believe Maggie Sullivan holds her own against any of her male hard-boiled detective counterparts, from Sam Spade to Philip Marlowe to Spenser.
I have been an on-again, off-again fan of the hardboiled PI novel ever since I read The Maltese Falcon years ago as a teenager. Thank you, M. Ruth Myers, for reminding me how enjoyable the genre can be!

Maggie Does It Again
Maggie Sullivan, feisty private investigator, solves another murder mystery -full of financial betrayal and motivated suspects - with old-fashioned brain power and logic. In this dangerous business, it helps to have friends in law enforcement, as Maggie does, being the daughter of a former local officer. It helps even more to be an observant and kind-hearted neighbor in her home town of Dayton, in depression and pre-war times. Maggie uses her wits and never forgets to treat her cooperative and helpful neighborhood “assistants” with whatever perks they most appreciate.
During a time where few women would be involved in any business, let alone a detective agency, Maggie’s adventure is a refreshing read, with plenty of female perspective. The romantic tension continues between Maggie and Officer Connolly, a recent Irish Immigrant. Maggie’s wry humor, inventive approaches, bravery and her seldom-revealed soft sides are a winning combination that will resonate with readers who enjoy strong, resourceful, female protagonists. As she systematically meets and “dissects” the multiple suspects in a real estate swindle and murder investigation, her determination and gutsy methods propel the plot on.
Besides solving the case, this time Maggie makes a new, equally tough, strong female friend. I hope to read more about Rachel in future books!

I want to hang out with Maggie Sullivan
My love affair with Maggie Sullivan continues. (Seriously, I kinda want to become her big sister and offer her life guidance whilst she watches my back.)
Do I still want to kick her every once in a while when she lets her burning need for independence (not to mention her understandable fear of falling for a certain cop*) lead her into reckless behaviour? Sure! But she's young yet, and I live in hope that as she grows, she'll became more willing to accept help (and realise she doesn't need to hand over her heart to get it).
The introduction of a couple of additional strong female characters -- one of whom has some potential to become a wise, if slightly shady ally -- was welcome.
And, as always, I found myself drooling over the vivid descriptions of everyday life that left me feeling as if I'd fallen into an especially good period production. Also, the cars**. The. CARS!!!!! (It's always been partly about the cars.)
I was pleased to see a deeper mystery this time. Sure, most readers probably ended up picking out the bad guy early on, but there were enough curveballs thrown to make me doubt my deduction... and to set up any number of sequels.
*I'll take him.
**The cars led to a fascinating discussion with my bf.

No doubt about it, Maggie is a tough cookie.
I love the fact that Maggie is just as tough as Sam Spade. She's smart, independent, close enough to fearless (unless it's about Connelly), and she's willing to dig deep to find the truth; she doesn't quit. The characters are well written, and there's plenty of action. I really like the time period of the 1930s. The old rotary phones, the big cars, newspaper boys selling papers on the corners. They're in the throes of the great depression. People are scared of losing their jobs, if they haven't already; some are digging through garbage cans to find something to eat. Maggie is feeling pretty lucky because she's been getting enough work to keep herself alive. You can feel both the fear and the grit that consumes some of the people Maggie runs into during her investigations. It feels real. I've read the first 3 books in the Maggie Sullivan mysteries, and I plan to read all of them.

Maggie Sullivan finds herself on a job for one of Dayton’s rich set. He has been swindled on a deal he felt was solid, him and some others of his upper class circle. Can Maggie find the man behind the swindle?
With very little to go on at all Maggie again finds her efforts are rubbing some folk up the wrong way and her safety is put in jeopardy.
Maggie is young, smart, attractive and ambitious. There is the merest hint of a romance with Michael Connelly but she is very loathe to give into her feelings and (possibly) give up her independence, so hard fought for.
The story twists and meanders. Along the way she finds help from an unexpected quarter.
The characters are well fleshed out and life in small town America at the beginning of WWII is colourfully painted.

Private investigator Maggie Sullivan is hired by rich businessman Ferris Wildman to find the con man who swindled him and then disappeared. Even before meeting with Wildman, as Maggie is driven to his house by his chauffeur, his Cadillac is rammed by a truck. It quickly becomes clear that someone seriously does not want Maggie investigating. As she interviews the victims of the con, she encounters Rachael Minsky, owner of a construction firm whose credentials as a tough cookie include being able to walk on the planks over a muddy building site in high heels. An engaging read that surpasses its genre.

This private eye from Ohio in the late 1930s is fantastic! Maggie is smart and savvy plus really good at her job!
The action builds and keeps amping up, even in the final chapter!
The author has a good grasp of the fashion and cars from the time period. The descriptions, from the workable heels to fur muffs to feathers in Maggie’s Peter Pan hat were expertly detailed.
Maggie’s relationship with Irish cop Connelly is interesting, plus she makes some key allies in this book.
I’ve read others in the series, so now I understand Perlie and Nico better in the latter books.
This is a read definitely worth getting from your local library or ordering on Kindle.

This is a cute story. It's not great but it's cute enough to be a cozy mystery. Maggie Sullivan is a private detective during the depression. She lives in Ohio where the depression hit hard. Maggie prevails because she's a "tough cookie." Maggie is a small time PI running on a shoestring budget so she's a bit apprehensive of a millionaire who hires her to find a swindler. When the swindler turns up dead, her boss and lots of others become suspects in Maggie's mind. This was an entertaining, fast read.

Brilliant descriptive writing
Great follow through on Book 1.
Story is about Ferris Wildman asking Maggie to find Harold Draper a man who had disappeared along with $18,000 of Wildman’s money. Plenty of twists and turns, written with an atmospheric humorous style. We see the return of some of the characters from the first book. The two cops Billy and Seamus that are near as family as Maggie has. Mick Connelly the handsome cop provides the “will they won’t they get together” romantic interest.
Great storyline, plenty of action. Thrilling read.

I really enjoy Maggie Sullivan's tough no-nonsence approach to crime. She digs in to solve the mystery and usually ends up run off the road, almost run over by a car, cracked over the head but all thisdoes is signify she's making someone nervous which spurs her on. Set in 1930 Dayton, Ohio the reader gets a glimpse of post Depression America where a lady slueth is anything but common. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I'm loving my re-read of this excellent series even more than the first time around! In this second instalment, Maggie is fully established as a character and it's a joy to see supporting characters develop, plus some regulars being introduced in this one. The plot is twisty, intricate and very satisfying and I feel I have my own window into the past through Maggie's experiences. Simply wonderful!

Tough Cookie is a gem of a detective novel / historical mystery. The female protagonist is refreshingly strong: no hemming and hawing, whimpering, or petulance. In fact, I didn’t roll my eyes a single time! The novel has a fun, evenly paced plot and well-developed characters. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Maggie Sullivan, a lovely, sassy, WWII feminist working gal. A fun set of stories set in Dayton, Ohio from the late 1930’s through the 2nd World War. Daughter of an Irish cop, in love with an Irish cop and friendly with a plethora of oddball characters from every social stratosphere. All in all, delightfully full of moxie.

A doozie of a detective story
Maggie is at it again with her detecting. This time for a tycoon who got swindled. Oh, and things start to heat up a little with a certain detective. Enjoy!

Good, but I liked #1better!
The plot was interesting but repetitive breaking down the intensity of the mystery! Liked getting to know Maggie better and her relationship with the other policemen especially Connelly. Have another Maggie book to read so I'll let you all know!🤓

I got one of the books in this series on a whim, and now I'm working my way through the series from the first book. These books, this one included, have interesting characters, and stories, a believable lead character and enough period detail to add authenticity to the work.

Couldn't stop once I started
Book 1 of the series led me to book 2 and both were 5 star reads. Fast paced, well written, intriguing, funny and factual for the time period they take place.
Thanks for the good reads Ruth, Doug

I like books with strong, gutsy women who do what they do without needing to have a man swoop in to save them. Private detective and daughter of a deceased police officer father Maggie Sullivan fits that description to a T. A fun read, and I will read more in the series.

Love this character
Plots are great, writing is descriptive with enough period details to bring the 1930s to life. Maggie is a terrific character - smart, kick-ass, and yet caring without being the least bit sentimental. She’s my hero!
