Her books all have a Black Country setting, but the author says "I never write about a set group of people or anyone particular I know, all my characters are make believe." The principal character in the crime series is Detective Kim Stone. The success of the digitally-published Kim Stone books resulted in a print deal with publisher Bonnier Publishing Fiction.

In 2020, Marsons signed a deal with Bookoture for an extra 12 books in the Kim Stone series, bringing the total to 28.
