The Ollie Stratford mysteries are set in the hill country, Texas. The protagonist is a part-time professor of statistics. Ollie is the mother of four grown children and a transplant from Brooklyn, New York city. Ollie's husband disappeared mysteriously working on an overseas project.
Ollie resides in a 10 acre property called Ealing Homestead which sits on the outskirts of a small hill country town, Medlin Creek. She is a trained martial artist (although very rusty and out of shape), enjoys pizza, soda, and solves mysterious murders. Along with her stray dog Bodie and a collection of eccentric friends, Ollie pieces together puzzles which the Sheriff’s department are incapable of solving.
