About the author
Rodney Strong
30 books115 followersWriting is one of those things that I have always done. I vividly remember spending most of an English exam writing a complicated adventure story as the answer to an exam question. I passed the exam, either because of, or despite the answer.
I tend to write the story that comes to mind, regardless of genre.

“Cats, chaos, and a kitchen crime scene, I’m hooked.”
Rodney Strong’s Murder Most Confusing is exactly what cozy mystery fans dream of — a small-town setting that feels like home, characters you instantly care about, and a pair of cats (Kaos and Madness) who, let’s be honest, are probably smarter than everyone else in town.
Rose Morgan’s arrival at Sliver Lake starts off simple enough, just clearing out her late Grandma’s house, until a dead body shows up in her kitchen. From that point on, the story pulls you into a delightful mix of humor, mystery, and “who can I actually trust?” moments that keep you turning the pages.
The pacing is snappy, the banter is warm, and the murder mystery balances suspense with light-hearted charm. But the true magic is how the book makes you feel, like you’re part of the investigation, watching events unfold while sipping tea and side-eyeing every neighbor.
If you like your mysteries with just the right amount of wit, lovable characters, and a dash of feline mischief, Murder Most Confusing is your next read. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself wishing for two crime-solving cats of your own.

Sliver Lake ...what really happened?
This was a very intriguing mystery that had a lot of twists to it. Rose and her two cats arrive in Sliver Lake to go through her late Grandmother's house and figure out what to do with it with things take a step sideways when someone is murdered in Rose's kitchen. She decides to try to solve the murder against the advice of the police. This is a great mystery with a few twists thrown in and keeps you guessing until the end. I hope there is another book in Sliver Lake.

Good read
The story kept me turning the pages. Every time I thought I had it, it changed. The ending was particularly good and surprising. I read a lot and usually figure things out, but this one beat me. Looking forward to next book.
