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

Crime author, Pauline Rowson entertained over one hundred and forty people at Waterlooville U3A on 22 January 2020 with tales of her 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 her new hero, Inspector Alun Ryga who is introduced in the first of her new 1950 set mystery series, DEATH IN THE COVE.

Pauline talked about how locations along the south coast of England have inspired her and have provided her with the ideas for her multi-layered, marine-set crime novels, of which there are now twenty. She spoke about how she develops these ideas into fast-paced plots.

Hailed in the UK, USA and Commonwealth as the "Best of British crime fiction," "A good read for mystery lovers," "gripping, compelling and full of twists and turns," Pauline Rowson's crime novels have been translated into many languages and are available in paperback, as an ebook, on Amazon Kindle and as unabridged audio books.

Pauline also explained and demonstrated how she creates her characters.  Following her talk there was a lively question and answer session and a book signing.  She says, 'They were a fantastic audience and it was a delight and pleasure to entertain them.'

The popular Inspector Andy Horton police procedural series is set in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight; 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; and Pauline is also the author of two standalone thrillers, In Cold Daylight and In For The Kill.

DEATH IN THE COVE introduces Scotland Yard detective Inspector Alun Ryga, and former war photographer, Eva Paisley.

It is set in 1950s England, a country still struggling to come to terms with peace in the grip of austerity and rationing. Recently promoted to Inspector at Scotland Yard, the former Merchant Navy seaman and German prisoner-of-war is sent to the Island of Portland in Dorset to solve an unusual and baffling case, why a man wearing a pin striped suit has been found dead in the isolated Church Ope Cove.
