"Another deftly crafted mystery by the master of the genre..." Midwest Book Review
"Clever and entertaining, you'll love this charming Golden Age mystery series. And the fashion is to die for!" - Molly C. Quinn, actress, Castle
"This title found me totally engrossed in my reading to the point of skipping bedtime 'til the tale was complete. The mystery of who was the murderer was done well - I did not guess until the end." ~ Andra, Amazon reviewer
"Murder on the S. S. Rosa by Lee Strauss is a short prequel to the Ginger Gold cozy mystery series that has all the hallmarks of a fascinating mystery series. Charles A. Ray - Amazon reviewer
"Absolutely fabulous! I really could not enjoy a series any more than this one." Terri Donaldson - Amazon reviewer
"Oh, Gosh! I didn't plan on getting hooked on yet another series, but I can't help it! I really, really like Ginger Gold! She is sharp as a tack, has guts, and knows what she wants and how to get it! Each one of these stories was practically un-put-downable. Plots are very intriguing, characters very well developed, and extremely well written. If you're a fan of the Australian series 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries', you'll love Ginger Gold!" JAM - Amazon reviewer
"This was an incredible read. The characters were full of life, and very likeable. The plot was engaging, and kept me guessing until the end. I read this straight through, only stopping when life made me. Highly recommended!" Mary Moon - Amazon reviewer
"I love the Ginger Gold mysteries! Strauss makes the 20's come alive with her costumes and society happenings. These are a fun read and good mysteries as well. The attention to little details makes the books even better. You feel you are there. Strauss keeps the suspense and twists coming fast." - Jan, Amazon reviewer
"Lady Gold is Solid Gold! Ginger Gold is a true lady, in both manners and title. She owns her own boutique, and manages to find time to solve mysteries. She can always count on her best friend, Haley, who is a medical student who assists the coroner. The cast of characters is rich and each is different in the most fantastic way." Katie Thompson - Amazon reviewer
From the Author
When I was searching for my next series idea I decided to combine my two loves: mystery and history. I have a particular interest in the war years and a curiosity that has turned into an obsession of the between war years - The Roaring Twenties!
Researching for the Ginger Gold Mysteries has been so much fun. I hope you sense that as you read. The fashions, the dances, the CRIME. I admit to being heavily influenced by the Miss Fisher Mysteries TV series, and you might find some similarities between Ginger Gold and Phryne Fisher, but I assure you, they are two very different characters when you dig deep. The character of Haley Higgins, a medical student at the London Medical School for Women allows me to further delve into another keen interest of mine: forensics. Never fear, the Ginger Gold Mysteries are COZY, so no scary, graphic on-stage violence. You'll find these books to be clean reads, with no swearing or sex. I hope you enjoy the Ginger Gold Mystery series!
