About

I am the author of the Rock & Roll Mystery Series. My first novel, Rock & Roll Homicide, has been two Kindle Top 100 lists from June 2014 through October 2014.  My second novel, Rock & Roll Rip-Off won the Premier Book Awards 2010 Mystery/Thriller of the Year. The third book in the series, The Concert Killer, was voted "Fan Favorite" by my readers. The 4th novel, The Classic Rockers Reunion with Death, opened with a TV interview on NBC and a very fun launch party with live rock music. Diamonds, Clubs, and Rock & Roll has been described as the "most imaginative" novel in the series, taking place in an undersea club on the floor of La Jolla Cove.

Darcia Helle (Thriller Writer) - Goodreads Review<br /><br />This is the third book in RJ McDonnell's Rock &amp; Roll Mystery series and, I think, the best so far. The plot is intricate, full of possible bad guys, and the 'whodunit' will keep you guessing until the end. <br /><br />As the title suggests, someone is committing murders at concerts and Jason Duffy is hired to help find the answers. We're brought into the world of concert promoters and band tours as Jason tries to beat the killer to his next stop. Much of the story is told in first person, from Jason's perspective, with an easy shift to the killer's third person POV. I was quickly absorbed in this book and didn't want to put it down.<br /><br />The Concert Killer has enough background on Jason Duffy and his life to allow it to be read as a stand-alone. However, I would suggest reading the Rock &amp; Roll Homicide and Rock &amp; Roll Rip-Off first, simply because they're too much fun to miss!
