The DI Andy Horton / Solent Murder Mystery series is the complete sequence of Pauline Rowson’s long-running police procedural novels. DI Andy Horton investigates murders across Portsmouth, the Solent, and the wider Hampshire coastline, with each book named after the location where the crime takes place.
Starting with Tide of Death in 2006, the series has expanded to 19 books. The Solent Murder Mystery branding reflects the geographic scope of the series, which ranges from harbour towns to remote islands. Readers can start with the first book or pick up any entry in the series, though reading in order gives the fullest picture of Horton’s personal and professional life.
