Category: Amy Rowlings Mysteries (Page 2 of 16)

Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a good book or two. It’s been a busy few months here, and I wanted to take a moment to share a little update from my writing desk — and to thank you for continuing to follow Amy Rowlings on her adventures through pre-war Kent.

When I first introduced Amy in Murder at the Mill, I had no idea she would grow into such a beloved character. What started as a simple idea — a young woman with a sharp mind, a love of detective fiction, and a knack for being in the wrong place at the right time — has now become a full series with a loyal and enthusiastic readership. I’m genuinely grateful for every message, review, and email that tells me Amy has kept you guessing, made you smile, or transported you back to a world on the brink of change.
The latest books in the series have been a joy to write. Each one lets me explore a different corner of pre‑war Kent, from quiet villages and bustling towns to the atmospheric Medway estuary. I’ve always loved this period — the fashions, the films, the sense of community — and it’s been wonderful to see readers connect with it too.

If you’ve enjoyed any of the Amy Rowlings mysteries, one of the most helpful things you can do is leave a short review on Amazon or Goodreads. It doesn’t need to be long — even a single sentence makes a real difference. Reviews help new readers discover the series, and they give the books a fighting chance in a very crowded marketplace.
Unfortunately, health issues have prevented me from working on the next instalment, but I’m hoping that things are improving enough to enable me to return to the driver’s seat and get on with Murder Night, which will be book 7 in the  Amy Rowlings Golden Age Mystery series. Books 8 and 9 are already in the memory banks.  Amy, as always,  will be trying to inveigle her way into a police investigation, and the town of Spinton will  be just as full of secrets as ever.
Thank you again for your support. It means more than you know.
Warm regards,
T.A. Belshaw

Introducing Twenty-one-year-old Amy Rowlings, a vivacious, quick-witted collector of imported American music, a movie buff and an avid reader of crime fiction.

January 1939 and the residents of the snow-covered streets of a small Kentish town awake to horrific news.

When young Amy Rowlings meets Detective Sergeant Bodkin at the scene of a robbery on the way to work at The Mill, one snowy, January morning, she is blissfully unaware of how much her life is about to change.
She is drawn into the murky world of murder when the body of Edward Handsley is found lying on the floor of the clothing factory. Edward, a libertine, philanderer, the son of George, the factory owner, a young man with many enemies, many of them female.

Bodkin is new to the area and accepts Amy’s offer to provide local knowledge but she soon becomes an invaluable source of information. When Adam Smethwick is arrested for the murder, Amy, a family friend, is convinced of his innocence and sets out to prove that the detective has arrested the wrong man.

Amy befriends Justine, the young, French fiancé of the elderly George, and soon discovers that it was not all sweetness and light in the Handsley family home. Meanwhile, back at the factory, Amy is sure that the foreman, Mr Pilling, has something to hide.

As the investigation proceeds, Amy finds that her burgeoning relationship with Bodkin is pushed to the limits as the detective becomes even more convinced that he has arrested the right man and while Bodkin relies heavily on the facts as they are presented, Amy has a more nuanced approach to solving the crime, born out of her beloved Agatha Christie books
