Happy publication day to Lethal Waves, the new Inspector Andy Horton crime novel by Pauline Rowson

Read any good crime novels lately?


I'm delighted to announce the publication in the UK of the latest in the Andy Horton series of crime novels, Lethal Waves. Lethal Waves is the thirteenth in the series to feature my flawed and rugged sailing detective, Inspector Andy Horton.  In this new mystery Andy has another complex murder investigation on his hands whilst trying to solve the puzzle of his mother's disappearance over thirty years ago.

 The latter has taken him across the English Channel from Portsmouth his home town to Guernsey in the Channel Islands where he is unexpectedly called in by his friend Inspector John Guilbert of the States of Guernsey Police to view the body of a woman found in her cabin on the Condor ferry, the Commodore Clipper, which had sailed from Portsmouth to Guernsey.


There doesn’t appear to be any suspicious circumstances. It looks like death from natural causes or suicide. It's not Horton's case.  He returns to Portsmouth only to be called in when a vagrant’s body has been found lying partially covered under one of the rotting houseboats close to where Horton lives on his boat in the marina. This time it clearly is murder.

Troubled by the many unanswered questions surrounding both deaths, Horton needs to call upon all his skills and intuition to solve this complex case, and in so doing uncovers dark secrets that have led to lethal waves of destruction.

I'm grateful to Condor Ferries who have given me considerable help in researching this crime novel. They've been fantastic.  More on my research on the Condor Ferry, Commodore Clipper, in future blogs and more on the fabulous photo shoot I had on board launching the new Andy Horton crime novel Lethal Waves.

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.
