Pauline Rowson entertains Bournemough Probus with tales of her crime busting fictional heroes

On Tuesday 9 October I was delighted to entertain members of Bournemouth Probus Club with tales of my crime busting fictional heroes, the flawed and rugged DI Andy Horton (14) and my undercover investigator, Art Marvik a former Royal Marine Commando (3).

The Inspector Andy Horton police procedural series is set in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight and the  Art Marvik mystery thrillers along the south coast including the Jurassic coast of Dorset and the Downs of East Sussex, Beachy Head and Cuckmere Haven.


I explained how I come up with ideas for my crime novels of which there are now nineteen (I'm also the author of two standalone thrillers - oh, and a play Murder at the Pelican Club) and how I turn these ideas into multi-layered and gripping plots.



I talked about how I research and write my crime novels and how I create my characters.  Following my talk there was a lively question and answer session and a book signing.

It was a pleasure to meet everyone at Bournemouth Probus Club.

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.
