Fancy a taster of DI Andy Horton Mystery Crime Novels by Pauline Rowson - watch two brand new trailers

Two new trailers have been uploaded to my You Tube Channel.

Tide of Death - the first in the DI Andy Horton Series





The Suffocating Sea - the third in the DI Andy Horton series  


Pauline Rowson's marine set Inspector Andy Horton crime novels have been hailed as being "outstanding British police procedurals". If it's a fast-paced story with a flawed, rugged copper who is instinctive, bucks the system AND gets results then Inspector Andy Horton is your man. He currently appears in 13 crime novels. Then there is her other troubled hero Art Marvik an undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad whose missions in 3 fast paced thrillers are to track down ruthless killers. Her plots are multi-layered and complex so you'll need to follow hard to keep up with all the players and sub plots but it will be well worth it if you enjoy gripping story lines and action. All Pauline Rowson's crime novels are set against the backdrop of the sea, she admits to being a terrified sailor and can can never be away from the sea for too long before suffering withdrawal symptoms. She can often be found walking the coastal paths in southern England looking for a good place to put a body and has so far managed to avoid arrest although she's optimistic that one day Inspector Andy Horton might do just that!

This fascinating article is a useful read for crime fiction authors and those interested in CSI. It is reprinted with the kind permission of The Conversation where it first appeared.  It is written by  Research associate in Geoforensics,Queen's University Belfast

All good research stuff for me even though my crime novels are set around the sea rather than small enclosed spaces as described here. But there are rivers and canals on Inspector Andy Horton's patch. Perhaps this location (see picture of the Spur Redoubt, Portsmouth)  I am using in the fourteenth Inspector Andy Horton novel (hopefully to be published in 2018 would warrant some of the methods described here.
