ⓘ About Molly Thynne

Molly Thynne full name Mary Harriet “Molly Thynne” is an English mystery author who made her name with the classic crime novels of the “Dr. Constantine” series. She had a very short career as between 1928 and 1933 she authored six titles and never wrote again. The author was born to a family with noble heritage as she was the great grandchild of the 2nd Marquess of Bath Thomas Thyne. Her family is best known as the owners of Longleat, one of the most stately homes in England. Thynne is also the great niece of James Whistler the American artist and creator of “Black No. 1” and “Arrangement in Grey.” Molly Thynne did not spend her childhood at her family’s stately home but rather in London where she mingled with artistic types.
