from Pauline-Rowson's Podcast · host Pauline Rowson
In this podcast episode I talk about bobbies on bicycles, women police officers, and police boxes in 1950s England, the era for my Inspector Ryga mysteries. Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Alun Ryga, a former German prisoner-of-war, teams up with former war photographer, Eva Paisley, to solve baffling coastal crimes around the coast of England in a series which captures the era perfectly. Atmospheric, gripping, full of surprising twists and turns to keep the reader enthralled until the end. "Pure detection mixed with a bit of history. Love these characters and the setting is great.” Goodreads "Brings the atmosphere and era alive.” Amazon
