You can almost split her work into phases by looking at the order. Phase 1: The Early Suspense (2014-2016). Phase 2: The Middle Period Experiments (2017-2018). Phase 3: The Contemporary Thriller Era (2020-Present). The themes get darker, the stakes feel higher, and the social observations are sharper in the most recent trio. It's a natural evolution.

I see some confusion online about whether 'The Other Mrs.' came before or after 'Local Woman Missing'. It's definitely before. 'The Other Mrs.' was February 2020, and 'Local Woman Missing' was May 2021. So the full, correct order is the debut in 2014, then annual releases through 2018, a break in 2019, and a return in 2020. She's been on a yearly schedule again since 2023 it seems.

Thinking about it thematically, the publication order reveals a shift. The first few books are very much about secrets within families or close relationships. By 'The Other Mrs.', she's incorporating more outright danger and external threats. 'Local Woman Missing' blends the familial secrets with a crime procedural element. Reading them in order, you see her expanding the scope of what a 'domestic thriller' can be, which is really satisfying for long-time readers.

Reading them in order, you notice little things. Like, her protagonists in the first three books have a certain vulnerability. By the time you get to 'The Other Mrs.', the main character is more active, more suspicious. It's a subtle shift in agency that reflects broader trends in thriller writing. The publication order accidentally documents that shift, which is kind of neat for genre nerds like me.

Ice had seen courage under fire, in many cases literally, back in his SEAL days. But he’d never seen anything like Vixen that day.
When he first caught sight of her, she was standing with her feet wide apart, solidly braced on those mile-high, mid-thigh black boots, the ones that he loved fucking her in. Her minute green skirt had ridden high and tight up her perfect legs, and her dark eyes were dilated to black as she grimly stared down the approaching vehicle, shooting and shooting, both hands holding the gun. She’d looked every inch the hot female assassin in some blockbuster Hollywood movie, right down to her hair flowing behind her in the autumn wind. **** Ice Johansson is the Road Devils MC’s Chief Enforcer: cold, ruthless, and built for violence. He doesn’t feel guilt, except where Vix is concerned. Weeks ago, he crossed a line with the one woman who mattered to him. Now an enemy attack leaves her badly injured, and Ice wants one thing: to protect her, if she’ll let him close again.
Victoria “Vixen” Shaw owns her reputation as the club’s favorite ride. No shame. No apologies. For eighteen months, though, she’s been Ice’s alone. What he did shattered her trust, but when Ice becomes her caretaker – no sex, no demands, just presence – she begins to see the man beneath the ice.
As the Road Devils are pushed to the brink, Ice and Vix find intimacy where they never expected it: clothed, raw, and vulnerable. But if Ice reveals the darkest parts of himself – the violence he embraces to protect his family – can Vix accept him? And even if she does, can loving a man like Ice ever truly be safe?

I'm waiting for someone to post a detailed timeline showing secret connections between all the books. Until then, I'll assume they're standalone and continue reading them in the order my local bookstore's staff pick shelf dictates.
My book club did 'Local Woman Missing' and loved it. We debated reading another of hers next, and the question of order came up. We just picked the one with the highest ratings on Goodreads after that. It was 'The Good Girl'. Worked fine for us. No one felt lost or like they'd missed references.
For a strict timeline of her writing career, page one is 'The Good Girl'. It's a library staple now. I found my copy in a little free library, which felt fitting for a thriller about secrets hiding in plain sight.
Okay, but which one is the best? The timeline shows evolution, but is later always better? I think 'Local Woman Missing' (2021) is her peak so far, but some swear by the raw twist in 'The Good Girl' (2014). The timeline gives you the data to have that 'early vs. late period' debate.
They're not connected, but there is a fun game you could play: try to guess the twist in each one before it's revealed.
Her books have a certain rhythm to the misdirection. After you've read two or three, you might start looking for the clues she plants in a certain way.
That's the only 'meta' connection between them—learning the author's tells. But the stories and characters themselves are wholly independent.
So read them in any order. The game is the same in each book: can you solve it before the characters do?
They connect only in the sense that they all live on the same shelf in my 'unputdownable thrillers' section.
My advice is to use a random number generator if you can't decide. Or, check which one your local library has available first. Overthinking it is unnecessary. The beauty is in the isolation of each story—you get all the answers by the last page, no waiting for a sequel.
Goodreads is your friend here. If you go to her author page and look at the 'Bibliography' section, you can sort the list by publication date. That'll give you the order they hit shelves.
It's a clean, simple method that avoids any websites that might be mixing up series order or including re-releases. I use it for almost every author when I'm trying to binge-read their back catalog in the right sequence. The community data is usually spot-on for publication dates, which is really all a chronological list is.
