You could almost group them by protagonist type. The Ridley Jones books are about a woman caught in a conspiracy. The Hollows books with Jones Cooper are detective-led. The other Hollows books ('In the Blood,' 'Crazy Love You') are intense psychological portraits. So pick your preferred protagonist style, then read those in order. For Jones Cooper, do 'Fragile' then 'Darkness, My Old Friend.' For psychological deep dives, 'In the Blood' and 'Crazy Love You' can be in either order.

Honestly, the fact that we're debating order proves the connections are interesting but not prescriptive. If they were vital, everyone would agree on the sequence. The ambiguity means you can't mess it up. Pick one and enjoy.

Let's rank them by how much they rely on The Hollows setting. 'Fragile' and 'Darkness, My Old Friend' are most about the town as a character. 'In the Blood' uses it but the story could theoretically happen elsewhere. 'Crazy Love You' is deeply entwined with the town's specific lore. So if you want the full Hollows experience, maybe read the high-connection ones first or last, depending on whether you want to build up to it or start with the heaviest hitter.

Here's a practical take. If you want to be thorough, follow this order: 1. 'Beautiful Lies' (2006). 2. 'Sliver of Truth' (2007). 3. 'Fragile' (2010). 4. 'Darkness, My Old Friend' (2011). 5. 'In the Blood' (2014). 6. 'Crazy Love You' (2015). 7. 'The Whispering Hollow' (2016, novella). From 2017 on, books are standalone.
But really, the only strict sequence is 1-2 and maybe 3-4 if you care about Jones Cooper's minor ongoing thread. The rest are flexible. Don't let order paralysis stop you from just reading one.

This is the third and last book of The Legacies series. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but it is recommended to read the other books first for better comprehension.

Meet Esmerelda Sleuth. Sleuth is her name and investigating is her game. (Paranormal Investigating, that is.)
Esmerelda makes a good living as an investigator in a rather progressive firm. She lives a stable and sensible life until she meets Lance; an old money "hottie" who works for a real estate firm next to her building. After accepting an invitation for a weekend getaway party, she quickly discovers that Lance has a secret. He is wealthy. That part is true. And, yes, he's procured a job as a realtor in the building next door. His secret is that he belongs to an underground society of humans who didn't abandon their connection to magic centuries ago when religion declared it evil and he has traveled through time specifically to find her and bring her back to his time to marry him. If that isn't enough of a far fetched tale to absorb, he informs her that she was born in his time to a family belonging to that same secret society and was promised in marriage to him as an infant. When enemies who didn't want to see the union of families take place made attempts on her life, her parents sent her into the future and erased her memories of them as a precaution.
Possessing virtually no belief in magic, ghosts, psychics, time travel, etc., it takes some doing on Lance's part to convince her to believe his story and go back with him. When she does, the lies, deceit and attempts on her life start all over again. Will she escape emotionally and physically unscathed?
"The Other Side Of the Mirror" is a steamy-paranormal-romance- mystery-thriller and book one of the Esmerelda Sleuth series.
Can we take a second to appreciate how prolific she is? To have a list long enough to cause confusion is a testament to her output. We're lucky to have so many books to sort through!
Most of the suggestions here are great. My personal vote is for the Fantastic Fiction website. It's clean, ad-free-ish, and just gives you the facts: title, year, series note, and cover art. It's my bibliographic bible for any author.
Why does everyone forget 'One-Hit Wonder'? It's not directly connected character-wise, but it's from the same era and has the same spirit. It's about fame and identity, not flatmates, but it feels like it exists in the same London. If you're hunting for connections, you might find a mention of a band or a neighborhood that rings a bell. But yeah, for a direct follow-on, it's 'Ralph's Party' and 'After the Party'. 'Thirtynothing' is the bonus track.
Plot-wise, you won't be lost reading out of order. But theme-wise, you might miss a subtle progression. Her early books often focus on a woman in immediate, personal danger from a specific threat. Her later work expands to look at systemic family secrets, the dangers of technology, and the fragility of community. Seeing that expansion happen in real-time, book by book, is a study in how a writer's interests evolve with the culture.
I read them based on audiobook narrator availability. Some are narrated by different people, and a great narrator enhances the thriller experience. Julia Whelan narrates a few, and she's brilliant. So my order was: whichever audiobook was available at the library with a narrator I liked. It made the experience more about performance than chronology. Highly recommend this if you're an audio fan—check the narrators on Audible and pick based on that.
