Who Is Rhys Bowen?

Rhys Bowen is the New York Times bestselling author of more than 40 books which include both standalone historical fiction as well as two historical fiction mystery series.

If you’re at all familiar with this author, then you probably already know that she writes both standalone historical fiction books as well as two very popular historical fiction mystery series.

But, did you know that Rhys Bowen is not her real name?

Well here is a fun fact about Rhys Bowen. Her real name is actually Janet Quin-Harkin. Although she writes under the name Rhys Bowen now, she started writing in the early 1980s under her real name Janet Quin-Harkin. It wasn’t until the 1990’s that she began writing mystery novels under the name Rhys Bowen.

Born in Bath, England, and educated at London University, Rhys now resides in the United States where she divides her time between California and Arizona.

She has been nominated for and won many major mystery writing awards for her books which are translated into twenty-two different languages.

What Genre Is Rhys Bowen Best Known For?

Rhys Bowen is best known for historical fiction and historical fiction mysteries.

She has written five standalone novels, along with two mystery series called the Royal Spyness Mysteries and the Molly Murphy Mysteries.

Her mystery series are quite different from one another. The Molly Murphy mysteries feature an Irish immigrant woman in turn-of-the-century New York. The Royal Spyness mysteries feature Lady Georgiana Rannoch who is 35th in line to the throne of England and is flat broke. Her antics are much lighter and funnier than whatever you’ll find Molly Murphy up to in New York.

Other Rhys Bowen Book Series

Rhys Bowen currently writes one other mystery book series called the Molly Murphy series.

In addition, she wrote an earlier series called the Evan Evans series from 1997 to 2006.

Here is Rhys Bowen’s Amazon author page where you can see all of her books.
