Crime author Pauline Rowson talks about the secrets of successful crime writing

Members of Southampton East Probus were entertained on Wednesday 20 June when I talked about the secrets of successful crime writing and about my crime novels set on the South Coast of England.

I spoke of  how I research my crime novels, including the police and forensic research and how I create my characters including the hunky, flawed and rugged sailing detective, Inspector Andy Horton and my new hero on the block former Royal Marine Commando, Art Marvik, now an undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad.

After my talk there followed a lively question and answer session and a book signing. It was a great pleasure to entertain the audience and my thanks to them for inviting me to speak.

Lost Voyage is the third in the Art Marvik Mystery series.  Marvik faces a desperate battle to save others from a ruthless assassin who will stop at nothing in order to protect the secret of the Mary Jo’s last voyage from ever being exposed



"Plenty of action, I didn't want to put the book down. A good read for mystery/ thriller fans." Net Galley

Lethal Waves, is the thirteenth in the popular crime series featuring the flawed and rugged detective, Inspector Andy Horton.




On his return from Guernsey, Horton is called out to investigate the death of a vagrant whose body is found under a rotting houseboat on the shores of Portsmouth.

"Nothing in this police procedural is as it first appears. The Harley Davidson–riding, boat-dwelling Horton is a fascinating man to get to know, and his thoughtful approach to detection is a pleasure to read." Publishers Weekly

The new Inspector Andy Horton, Dead Passage, is to be published in October 2018 in paperback and as an ebook.

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.
