Order of D.I. Andy Horton Books

Detective Inspector Andy Horton takes center stage in English author Pauline Rowson's compelling police procedural series, often referred to as the "marine mysteries" due to their South Coast England setting. Horton emerges as a complex, deeply human protagonist whose physical strength masks significant emotional fragility. His troubled past began when his mother abandoned him at just ten years old, leaving him to navigate the harsh streets of Portsmouth on his own. This formative experience has left him with complicated feelings toward the city that shaped him—a place he both loves and resents.

The D.I. Andy Horton series launched in 2006 with the debut novel Tide of Death, and Pauline Rowson continues to add new installments to this ongoing series. Here are the D.I. Andy Horton books listed in publication order:
