A question that I’m commonly asked is, in what order should I read your books?Read More
All of the books have some common characters, however, two of the books are not tied as much to the series as the other current eight books. So, those can be read out of the order in which they were written. So, I’ll start with the written order:
- Planning Vengeance
- Dig Two Graves
- You Don’t Know Jack
- Who, What, When, Why?
- Triple Cross *
- Lies and Omissions *
- Unknown Caller
- Grafton
However, a couple of people have said they wanted to read them chronologically. That is a little tougher because Grafton and Who, What, When, Why? both have multiple stories that take place at different times. Grafton has the origin story on Melody, which is before everything but the flashbacks in the other books. Aside from that story, everything in Grafton is after You Don’t Know Jack and before Unknown Caller. Who, What, When, Why? has stories that are intertwined around the first three books.
So, chronologically by story date:
- Melody (from Grafton)
- Lies and Omissions
- Planning Vengeance
- Dig Two Graves
- Who, What, When, Why?
- You Don’t Know Jack
- Grafton
- Triple Cross
- Unknown Caller
One thing to keep in mind though, is that aside from Planning Vengeance/Dig Two Graves, I tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum. Lies and Omissions and Triple Cross are outside of the regular series anyway… which is why they are asterisked *.
Whatever order you read them in is cool with me, though… as long as you read them. 😉
