MURDER ON THE ROCKS by J.S. Strange-Crime/Cozy Mystery

A man is murdered whilst attending a writers meeting at the home of a famous author. He has

been poisoned via the whisky he was drinking. Jordan is just back from compassionate leave

having lost his mother. He should have taken more time off but feels he would be better back

at work as a P.I. He is called to the crime scene by one of the investigators as he often helps

out with cases. He rarely has contact with his family. so when his father calls him and confides

that he now thinks his mother was murdered, he wonders what is going on. This ties up with

having received an anonymous note on his windscreen warning him to keep out of things and

also a message from the author saying he is more involved than he first realises. I took to

Jordan and his tenacity.Although what first appears as a straightforward case there are more

complex threads along the way. Nice to have a gay PI for a change in what is essentially a

cozy mystery. I like that there is not only the personal angle but more to the main character

than just the plot- some of his life and background and interaction with friends and family.

J.S Strange is a new author to me but soon found myself enjoying the read.

One to keep an eye on.

Book Blurb:
When PI Jordan Jenner returns to work following the death of his mother, his first case involves a murdered writer...

James Fairview has been killed. As a member of a prestigious writing group hosted by bestselling author Joseph Gordon in the heart of Cardiff, Jordan not only has to cope with solving the mystery, but also deal with press attention. 

As Jordan investigates, he discovers his mother's death may not have been so simple. And when another writer is murdered, Jordan realises the killer could strike again... 

A murdered writer, a mysterious death, and a group with jealousy at its heart, this is Jenner's toughest case yet.

A cosy murder mystery with a gay male detective, Murder on the Rocks is the first in the Jordan Jenner Mysteries series. If you're a fan of classic whodunits you will love this! 

A perfect read for those looking for Welsh crime fiction. 


About J.S. Strange:
J.S. Strange is an author from Wales, United Kingdom. He writes crime, mystery and horror. His first novels, published in 2016 and 2017, were set in an apocalyptic London. Murder on the Rocks, is the first in a cozy crime mystery series, featuring a leading gay male detective. 

Murder on the Rocks was written by Strange for many reasons. One of those reasons was a lack of representation within the crime genre, particularly with detectives and sleuths. Strange created Jordan Jenner, a private investigator, who lives and works in Cardiff. Murder on the Rocks was written with the intention of shining light on Cardiff, and bringing Cardiff, and furthermore, Wales, into the crime genre. 

Strange's previous works, such as 'Winter Smith: London Burning', also explored LGBT themes, and featured socialite Winter Smith escaping a zombie apocalypse. 'London's Burning' became an Amazon best-seller in LGBT fiction. 

When Strange doesn't write, he works in television. He also presents a radio show all about the paranormal. He has an enthusiasm for Britney Spears and cats.
