Along the way she discovers she has quite a skill in solving crimes, as documented in the ample selection of Bowen’s books about Molly.

And comment from Rhys: I’ve been asked many times how I pronounce my name. It’s REECE, not Rice Risss or anything else. It’s the Welsh spelling so I know it looks odd, but y is a vowel in Welsh.
