Regan asked Rhys Bowen:

Your books feel so well situated in their time period and geography. What is involved in your research process?

Rhys Bowen Before I start to write I do a lot of background reading, for the history. Then I go to the place. It's usually a place I know well to begin with. I rake in the sights, sounds, smells. As I write I check on small details... Look at maps, Google Earth. I want everything to be right

Thank you for answering my question. I did in fact and now am reading "Murphy's law", at this time. That would be following your direction, Correct?

SFrick asked Rhys Bowen:

Ms. Bowen, For the Molly Murphy mysteries are they to be read in order? I have read a couple other of your novels and enjoyed them.

L asked Rhys Bowen:

Hello Mrs. Bowen, I just finished All That Is Hidden and it was wonderful! Quick question: I know it was intended to be a false lead, but what were Lucy McCormick and Gertie Grace discussing at the cemetery?
