The audio versions are read by Colleen Prendergast, and she's fantastic. She captures Stone's gravelly weariness and Oliver's younger energy perfectly. I'd recommend listening in order to appreciate her consistent character voices.

Publication order is the safest bet for any crime series, honestly. You want to see the detectives' relationship develop and the recurring side characters pop up. Skipping around ruins the slow-burn personal stakes Hannah weaves into the police procedural stuff.

I think Goodreads has the order listed correctly in most shelves. The series is sometimes called 'Stone and Oliver' or 'DCI Stone & DI Oliver'. Just search for Mari Hannah and look at the 'Series' tab on her author profile. Saves a lot of headache.

Are Mari Hannah’s series connected, and how should they be read chronologically?

I think the standalones are being slept on. 'The Lost' is incredible. It's technically a Kate Daniels book, but it works as a standalone because the case is so insular. Still, you'll get more nuance if you know Kate's backstory. So my recommended chronology is just the two main series in their own order, with standalones featuring familiar characters slotted in later.

Look at the copyright dates inside the books. The lowest number is the first one. Problem solved. You don't need the internet or fan advice. The books themselves tell you which came first.

Which Mari Hannah book comes first before The Murder Wall in the series timeline?

Yeah, no book comes before it. 'The Murder Wall' is where it all starts. I think the confusion sometimes comes from the fact that the story references past events in Kate's life, making it feel like we joined mid-stream. But that's just good character writing—she has a history before page one. The narrative present, however, begins with that book. It's a cracking read, too; the setting is almost a character itself.

How do Mari Hannah’s crime thriller series timelines line up across all her books?

The supporting characters are the best clue for timeline continuity. In a series, you see their lives change: marriages, promotions, retirements. That’s how you know time is moving forward in a believable way. Hannah does that subtly but effectively.
