The Solent Murder Mysteries Books 1–8

DI Andy Horton #1-8

by Pauline Rowson

Welcome to Portsmouth. A city with a proud naval history, a bustling international port . . . and a deadly undercurrent. Behind the vibrant waterfront and historic dockyards, danger lurks. Few know this better than Detective Inspector Andy Horton.

A maverick with a haunted past, Horton lives alone on a yacht in Southsea Marina, rides a Harley-Davidson, and plays by his own rules. He’s instinctive, uncompromising, and driven by a deep sense of justice — even when it puts him at odds with his superiors. With loyal Sergeant Barney Cantelli at his side, Horton pursues the city’s most dangerous criminals through an environment where tides shift fast — and evidence disappears even faster.

Please let their be more Solent Murder Mysteries!

Twisting and turning clues to intriguing mysteries. Wonderful characters headed by Andy Horton. Much more to learn about them though as well as Horton's mother. Too many questions to stop now.
