Rhys Bowen est une auteure à succès et primée, principalement connue pour ses romans policiers. Née Janet Quin-Harkin à Bath, en Angleterre, elle a débuté sa carrière d'écrivain sous son vrai nom, produisant des romans d'adolescents, des romances pour adultes et des livres pour enfants. Cependant, c'est en 1997 qu'elle a adopté le nom de plume Rhys Bowen pour se lancer dans les romans policiers pour adultes.
Bowen a écrit plusieurs séries à succès, dont Constable Evans, Molly Murphy Mysteries et Royal Spyness. Son travail a été nominé pour et a remporté plusieurs prix, dont le Edgar Best Novel Award et l'Agatha Best Novel Award. Son deuxième livre dans la série Constable Evans, Evan Help Us, a également été nominé pour un Barry Award et elle a remporté un Anthony pour ses histoires courtes. Les livres de Bowen ont reçu des critiques favorables dans le monde entier et ont été traduits en 29 langues, ce qui fait d'elle une auteure à succès mondial.
La série Molly Murphy Mysteries de Bowen se déroule en 1902 à New York, et sa série Royal Spyness concerne la famille royale britannique dans les années 1930. Elle a également écrit la série Constable Evans, située dans le nord du Pays de Galles. Les séries policières historiques de Bowen sont connues pour leur forte sensation de temps et de lieu, avec des histoires complexes et multicouches. La série Molly Murphy a remporté plusieurs prix, dont les Agatha et Anthony awards. Bowen's daughter, Clare Broyles, now co-writes the series with her.
En plus de ses séries mystères, Bowen a également écrit plusieurs romans historiques à succès international, dont In Farleigh Field, qui a remporté trois grands prix et a été nominé pour un Edgar Award. Les Jardins de la Victoire et Au-dessus de la baie des Anges sont d'autres romans indépendants mettant en scène des femmes de la Première Guerre mondiale et une jeune femme qui devient chef de Queen Victoria, respectivement. Le dernier roman historique de Bowen, The Venice Sketchbook, a été publié en avril 2021. Elle est née et a été élevée en Angleterre, mais elle partage actuellement son temps entre la Californie et l'Arizona. Bowen est une auteure à succès du New York Times et a remporté vingt grands prix du mystère à ce jour, dont cinq Agathas.
