Author on location research - looking for a good place to put a body

Last week on rather a grey, chilly January day I went on location research for the DI Andy Horton Marine Mystery crime novel I am currently writing, number ten in the series.

I have finished the first drafts and am now working on the revisions and although I know the area where I have set this novel well, I wanted to visit it and check out a few things.

I've already written about one of the areas where DI Horton (10) is set and that is Hilsea Lines in Portsmouth. In addition this novel is set around Haslar Marina, Gosport and my very grateful thanks to the marina manager and staff at Haslar Marina for letting me roam about the pontoons and bombard them with questions.

I am hoping to finish DI Horton (10) by the end of February then it will be on with the next one.
