The setting for DI Andy Horton Solent Murder Mystery THE COWES WEEK MURDERS
The
inspiration for DI Andy Horton Solent Murder Mystery THE COWES WEEK
MURDERS (first published as Death Surge), number ten in the series, comes
from locations where I live on the South Coast of England in the Solent
area. This is DI Andy Horton's patch, Portsmouth, the surrounding
harbours and the Isle of Wight.
All my crime novels are set against the backdrop of the sea. The
sea is my brand or trademark if you prefer. I’m often walking the
coastal paths looking for a good place to put a body! A fictional one
that is. I can't pass a boatyard, beach or bay without thinking there
must be a dead body or a skeleton there somewhere that will spark the
idea for a new crime novel.
Two locations around the sea and the harbours are featured in THE
COWES WEEK MURDERS - the tunnels at the Hilsea Lines, in Portsmouth and
Fort Gilkicker, Gosport overlooking the Solent.
