Pauline will be in the Waterstones Ipswich Buttermarket branch on Thursday 16th November and then the Waterstones Bury St Edmunds Buttermarket branch on Saturday 2nd December for an ‘Utterly Dusted’ book promotion and meet the author event.
I, and I’m Otto don’t you know, will be wondering where I’m supposed to be going – sometimes it’s difficult to keep up! Amazon.uk

The 7th Utterly Crime novel is released, and once again Rebecca Moss Guyver has designed another terrific cover!

Utterly Dusted – the 7th novel in the Utterly Crime Series is available in paperback and ebook format.
The PLOT: Dust clouds can combust with explosive force in the same way that the past can spring up and strike. Chrissie is under pressure with her carpentry business as Christmas approaches. When she is told by DI Clive Merry not to meddle in his cases, she struggles to curb her predictable curiosity. She tries to remain on the sidelines but along with old friends Nick and Matt, is drawn into a whirlpool of stalkers and shadows from the past.
A body is found near a golf course and another is discovered in a water-logged ditch. The tension racks up against the backdrop of an ancient woodland and a search for vintage gifts. The action moves from Bury St Edmunds to Woolpit, Stowmarket to Ipswich, and Onehouse to Framlingham.
I have infused Utterly Dusted with the feel of Suffolk and the gentle humour from the everyday lives of Chrissie, Nick and Matt. This book stands alone but many of the characters previously seen return as the pace quickens and the past ignites.

Rebecca Moss Guyver is the artist who designs the book covers for my Utterly Crime Series.
Wonderful news – she has had her pastel Red Haw Apples (not one of my book covers) selected for the 2017 Pastel Society Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London from 21st February to the 4th March.
I have always known that she is very talented artist, but isn’t it wonderful that she has had her pastel selected.

My latest crime novel – UTTERLY CRUSHED – has been chosen by Suffolk Libraries as one of their Suffolk Loves… books! Imagine how excited and pleased I was when I dropped by to visit Hadleigh Library last week. Wow – there is was on the Suffolk Loves… selection shelves. I had to pinch myself and take a photo, just to show it was actually happening!
