Rowan J Harcourt

Rowan J. Harcourt writes coastal mysteries with a touch of the gothic, blending art, atmosphere, and slow-burning suspense.

Set along England’s rugged shores, The Tidecombe Bay Mysteries follow art historian Dr Serena Penrose, whose search for truth leads her through seaside galleries, forgotten manuscripts, and the darker side of beauty itself.

A lifelong admirer of old bookshops, stormy coastlines, and the stories hidden behind paintings, Rowan weaves mysteries that balance danger with charm — where every clue is a brushstroke, and every character hides a secret.

When not writing, Rowan can usually be found exploring historic villages, sketching crumbling architecture, or researching real-life art scandals that might one day find their way into a story.
