“One of the most enjoyable mysteries to come out in months!!”
“A fantastic period cozy mystery made to keep you guessing!”
It’s 1923 and young war widow fashionista Ginger Gold makes a cross-Atlantic journey with her companion Haley Higgins to London England to settle her father’s estate. When the ship’s captain is found dead, Ginger is only too happy to lend her assistance to the handsome Chief Inspector Basil Reed.
The SS Rosa delivers a convincing array of suspects – the wife, the mistress, a jealous crew mate. To Ginger’s dismay, her name has been added to the list! With a little help from Ginger’s dog Boss, Ginger and Haley navigate the clues (those wartime operative skills come in handy.) They must solve the case and clear Ginger’s name before they dock–and oh, whatever shall she wear!
MURDER AT HARTIGAN HOUSE
Praise for Murder at Hartigan House: “Fantastic read.”
“The terrific twists in this story leaves you guessing until the surprise ending!”
” … if you do love Agatha Christie, then this series is for you!”
There’s a skeleton in the attic!
After a weeklong passage over the Atlantic from Boston to Liverpool, Ginger Gold arrives at her childhood London home–Hartigan House–to find decade-old remains from some poor woman on the floor in the attic. Ginger’s Boston terrier, Boss, noses out a missing phalange from under the bed.
It’s a mystery that once again puts Ginger alongside the handsome Chief Inspector Basil Reed. Who is the victim? And how did she end up in Ginger’s home?
Clues lead Ginger and her good friend Haley Higgins to a soirée hosted in 1913 by Ginger’s late father, George Hartigan. A shadow of suspicion is cast on her father’s legacy, and Ginger isn’t so sure she wants to know the truth about the man she dearly loved.
Ginger decides to host another soirée, inviting the guest list from ten years previous. Before the night is over, another person is dead.
MURDER AT BRAY MANOR
“If you are a fan of tv’s Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries you will like these books.”
“Totally enjoyable reading. I love this series.”
“A great British who done it.”
A poltergeist guilty of murder?
Ginger Gold receives a letter from her sister-in-law, Felicia, requesting Ginger come straightaway to her late husband’s family home, Bray Manor. Dowager Lady Gold, Ginger’s nervous grandmother through marriage, believes the old manor is haunted.
Ginger doesn’t believe in ghosts, but is haunted nevertheless by memories of her husband and the lure of his gravesite she just can’t bring herself to visit.
In order to keep Bray Manor afloat financially, Felicia and Ambrosia have opened the estate to the public for club meetings and special events. Knitters, stamp collectors and gardeners converge weekly–targets for the poltergeist that seems to find amusement in hiding small things from their owners.
Bray Manor hosts a dance to raise money for maimed soldiers who struggle with peacetime after the Great War. Felicia invites her flapper friends and her new beau, Captain Smithwick, a man Ginger has met before and definitely doesn’t like.
When the dance ends with the discovery of a body, Ambrosia is certain the poltergeist is to blame, but Ginger is quite sure the murderer is made of flesh and blood.
Hop aboard the 1920s!

Ginger Gold is someone you’d want to be friends with and her semi-flirting with the Scotland Yard guy is fun to follow.
Love these characters.
GREAT!! I’m always on the lookout for a light cozy mystery and this is my new favorite series!
Ginger est une héroïne gâtée, capricieuse et insupportable…comme on les aime. Une féministe de haute volée en somme. Des histoires rétro, bien écrites, avec des personnages attachants.
I loved the great descriptions of the era. Fashion, homes, vehicles, social expectations- it’s all there. Very well done.
Love the Ginger Gold mysteries. Looking forward to finishing the series.
Fun to read.
The mysteries are entertaining and easy to read. Ms. Strauss often explained the British terms which I appreciate. The kindle dictionary is rather limited. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the period clothing.
I really enjoyed these mysteries and look forward to reading more of Ginger Gold.
Love the series. Continued reading the complete series.
Terrific, light reading. I can’t wait to read beyond the first three as Ginger Gold manages to defy logic yet always solves the case.
Really enjoyed the window into everything 1920s
To hokey
one of the best I have read, lately. Could not put it down.
Well-written with fun characters and lively action … good storylines. I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.
Lady Gold doesn’t disappoint.
Read and loved the
whole series. Wonderful cozy mysteries.
I am not really into historic mystery but I am glad I decided to take a chance and purchase this book; it was a great read and thoroughly enjoyed the characters. I enjoyed the characters and look forward to reading more from this author.
I’m looking forward to reading more of the Ginger Gold series.
Sorry to the author, but I just couldn’t finish even the first book in the series. If a book hasn’t pulled me in by the time I’m a quarter to a third of the way through it, I’m not going to keep going. The characters were boring, and the main characters continually repeated the same inane comments. The story dragged on… Again, I’m sorry. This was just my opinion, maybe the next person who reads it can overlook what bothered me. For myself, I think far too many wonderful books written and life is too short to waste it reading a book I’m absolutely not enjoying.
