Rosemary Aitken

    Rosemary Aitken, writing as Rosemary Rowe, skillfully weaves historical settings with compelling mystery. Her detective series, set in the Roman town of Glevum, features the unique protagonist Libertus, a pavement-maker whose expertise in mosaic patterns cleverly mirrors his knack for solving puzzling crimes. This approach highlights her fascination with the intersection of art, history, and deduction. Beyond her mysteries, Aitken also delves into historical fiction, crafting narratives set in a fictional Cornish village that offer readers immersive journeys into the past.
