Pauline Rowson is a Top 100 Amazon Best Selling author of twenty-five crime novels - 16 in the DI Andy Horton Solent Murder Mystery series; four in the Art Marvik mysteries; three in the 1950s set Inspector Ryga mysteries and two standlone thrillers. All her crime novels are set agains the backdrop of the sea in the UK. It usually takes me nine months to write a crime novel, six months at a push depending on what else is going on in my life!
