DJ Stratton Series

Follow Detective Inspector Terry Stratton, and the team of misfits who make up the Tasmanian Homicide and Cold Case Unit, in this series of crime thrillers with a psychological twist.

If you enjoy the setting and plots in Ian Rankin’s DI Rebus books, and the characters and humour that Reginald Hill brings to life in his DS Dalziel series, you will love these novels.

There are several themes that run through the DI Stratton series. The books are set in my beautiful home state, Tasmania, Stratton and his son, Charlie are dyslexic (a topic I am passionate about), and Stratton is an enthusiastic triathlete. He also has an almost unconscious sense of social justice and an ingrained intolerance of the systems and bureaucracies that perpetuate injustices. You can read some context for those themes here
