Cathi Stoler writes mystery and crime fiction with a strong New York City flavor. Her Laurel and Helen New York Mystery series, starting with Telling Lies (2011), follows two women who find themselves caught up in dangerous situations across Manhattan. The Murder on the Rocks series, beginning with Bar None (2018), is set in and around a New York bar and mixes cocktail culture with murder.
Her Nick Donahue series, starting with Nick of Time (2023), features a private investigator working cases in the city. Stoler has also published short fiction, including the collection Bad Things Happen (2016), and contributed to mystery anthologies. Her work stays grounded in realistic urban settings, and her characters tend to be sharp-witted New Yorkers who get pulled into trouble.
