A great review from America

My latest crime novel Dead Man’s Wharf was published in America on 1 July 2009 in hardcover. I'm delighted that it immediately received an excellent review from Kirkus Book Reviews.

Kirkus Reviews is published 24 times annually, with nearly 5,000 book reviews each year. It is one of the most prestigious names in the publishing industry and is read by publishers, libraries, agents, film and television studio producers, as well as commercial booksellers. I've put the link to their web site here but what I didn't realise is that it's a subscription only web site, so you won't be able to read the review. That might not be a bad thing as it does rather give the plot away.
Here, however, is what they say about Dead Man's Wharf:

‘Rowson turns out an exemplary procedural with the requisite plot twists, double-crosses and all loose ends tied up neatly in a sailor’s knot.’

Dead Man’s Wharf was published in hardcover in the UK in April 2009.

It is the fourth in the marine mystery series of crime novels to feature the flawed and rugged Inspector Andy Horton, whose patch is Portsmouth CID on the south coast of England. It is available from on line bookstores and can be ordered through any bookshop.

It is often difficult to find a new author and one whose novels you think you might enjoy but libraries are a great place for dipping your toe in the water, or rather for letting your fingers do the choosing and there is also a handy little book in UK libraries that can help with that.  It's called Who Else Writes Like? Reviewers have compared the Inspector Andy Horton novels to American writers, Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh and their British counterparts John Harvey and Peter Robinson both of the latter mentioned in the directory Who Else Writes Like? My crime novels are also compared to those written by Colin Dexter, Ann Cleeves, Robert Barnard, Graham Hurley, Dorothy Simpson and Neil White.   In addition, there is also a good website called Fantastic Fiction where it is suggested that if you like Peter James and Stephen Booth then you might also like the Inspector Andy Horton and the Art Marvik Mystery Thrillers.
