Molly Reyna writes cozy mysteries for women who understand that midlife isn't a winding down — it's a sharpening.

After more than thirty years leading healthcare organizations, she found that storytelling wasn't so different from the work she'd always done — both are about how people connect, navigate change, and rebuild when life doesn't go to plan.

The Annapolis Wharfs & Whispers Mysteries grew out of fifteen years near Annapolis — a town of water, light, and layered history. At its heart is Evie Simmons, a former travel executive who trades a fast-paced career for a second act, and a reputation for uncovering what others would prefer stay buried.

Molly Reyna liked Cheryl's review of Before the Whispers: Annapolis Wharfs & Whispers - Prequel Novella: "Dense Not an easy read. Short but slow. Really had to work to keep at it to finish it. Seemed to start in the middle rather than at the beginning. Several typos. Needs another set of eyes before publishing in my opinion."

Molly Reyna liked Michelle's review of Before the Whispers: Annapolis Wharfs & Whispers - Prequel Novella: "Interesting set up I like stories with a good cast of supporting characters, and this book does. The mystery was a very bittersweet romance, with a strong ending. I look forward to the next book."

Molly Reyna liked Julia's review of Before the Whispers: Annapolis Wharfs & Whispers - Prequel Novella: "I didn’t really know what a cozy mystery would entail but I’m a fan now. This didn’t have my heart pumping like a typical mystery but did have me intrigued. I love midlife FMCs, so Evie was great. Thanks to Goodreads Giveaways for this book!"
