Molly Lefebure

    Molly Lefebure was a pioneering author who explored subjects ranging from forensic science to literary biography, all with a unique perspective. Her work often delved into the darker aspects of the human experience, from addiction to death, but always with a keen eye for detail and psychological insight. Lefebure established herself as a respected Coleridge scholar, investigating the impact of his opiate addiction on his life and work. Beyond her writing, she was also an artist and illustrator who contributed to her children's books, and through her work in forensic science, she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to truth and justice.
