Rosemary Aitken

    Rosemary Aitken, schrijvend onder het pseudoniem Rosemary Rowe, verweeft vaardig historische settings met boeiende mysteries. Haar misdaadserie, die zich afspeelt in de Romeinse stad Glevum, introduceert de unieke protagonist Libertus, een mozaïeklegger wiens expertise in mozaïekpatronen zijn talent voor het oplossen van raadselachtige misdaden weerspiegelt. Deze aanpak benadrukt haar fascinatie voor de kruising van kunst, geschiedenis en deductie. Naast haar mysteries duikt Aitken ook in historische fictie, waarbij ze verhalen creëert die zich afspelen in een fictief Cornish dorp en lezers meenemen op meeslepende reizen naar het verleden.
