The Murder on the Rocks series uses a New York bar as its home base for four mystery novels. Bar None (2018) introduces the setting and characters, and subsequent books (Last Call, Straight Up, With a Twist) continue the pattern of cocktails and crime.
The bar setting gives Stoler a natural gathering place for suspects, witnesses, and gossip. Each book builds on the social world of the bar while presenting a new murder to solve.
