Murder, Mystery and Mayhem at the New Forest and Waterside U3A with crime writer, Pauline Rowson, creator of the DI Andy Horton series

I was delighted to be asked to talk to members of the New Forest and Waterside U3A on 4 March about crime writing and the inspiration behind the DI Andy Horton crime series  and my thrillers. 

I was happy to supply the murder and mystery but the mayhem sprang from the fact there was a fire drill just before I was due to stand up and speak - though to be fair there was no mayhem.  Everyone proceeded in an orderly fashion out of the fire exits into the car park where we were all duly ticked off the attendance list. My husband, Bob, was on hand to make sure all was in order and that it passed his critical former fire fighter's eye.

After my talk and before question time I decided to read a passage from The Suffocating Sea - DI Andy Horton number 3 - where Andy is trapped in a burning Church vestry, very apt I thought.

Here are some photographs from the talk.

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.
