Welcome to Annapolis — where the harbor hides its secrets, and Evie Simmons is just beginning to pay attention. I'm Molly Reyna, and I write the Annapolis Wharfs & Whispers Mysteries: atmospheric, character-driven cozy mysteries for readers who want a little more depth with their charm. Think cobblestones and candlelight, women who've lived enough to notice what others miss, and dogs with opinions. The first book in the series, Murder at Low Tide, is coming in 2026. But the story starts now — with Before the Whispers, the prequel novella. Additional content from Evie’s world is available free to my readers.
