Over 140 people turn out to hear Pauline Rowson talking about her crime novels


I was delighted to entertain so many members of Waterlooville U3A on 22 January 2020 with tales of my fictional sleuths: the enigmatic DI Andy Horton who features in fourteen novels; undercover investigator, former Royal Marine Commando, Art Marvik who currently appears in three mystery thriller novels, and my new hero, Inspector Alun Ryga who is introduced in the first of her new 1950 set mystery series, DEATH IN THE COVE.


Huge turnout to hear Pauline Rowson talk about her crime novels

 There were well over one hundred and forty people there, in fact it was standing room only. I spoke about how locations along the south coast of England have inspired me and  provide me with the ideas for myr multi-layered, marine-set crime novels, of which there are now twenty. I talked about how I develop these ideas into fast-paced plots and how I create my characters.

Following my talk there was a lively Q & A and a book signing.  It was a delight and pleasure to entertain the audience.
