Em Hansen

Focusing on mystery novels the American writer Sarah Andrews has approached the format from a purely science based stance. Being a geologist by trade she incorporates a lot of her learning and ideas into her work, taking it to another level and giving it a keen sense of accuracy it wouldn’t otherwise have had. Understanding the art-form, she has also become highly adept at creating engaging and entertaining stories with characters that resonate with her readers. One such series that exemplifies this is that of her ongoing Em Hansen series, which has been running for a number of years now. Charting the case-files of one Em Hansen, it tells of her various investigations as a forensic geologist working and operating throughout the state of Wyoming in America. It also manages to build her as a character over the course of novels, creating a strong and resourceful individual who is both intelligent and human, something which her many readers have come to appreciate over the years.
