Rosemary Aitken, che scrive con lo pseudonimo di Rosemary Rowe, intreccia con maestria ambientazioni storiche in avvincenti misteri. La sua serie di gialli, ambientata nella città romana di Glevum, presenta l'insolito protagonista Libertus, un mosaicista la cui competenza nei motivi delle pavimentazioni rispecchia abilmente la sua attitudine a risolvere crimini enigmatici. Questo approccio sottolinea la sua fascinazione per l'intersezione tra arte, storia e deduzione. Oltre ai suoi gialli, Aitken si dedica anche alla narrativa storica, creando storie ambientate in un villaggio fittizio della Cornovaglia che offrono ai lettori viaggi immersivi nel passato.
