Think of it like a TV show. You can watch any episode of a police procedural and follow the case-of-the-week, but you'll miss the serialized elements of the main characters' lives. Hannah's unresolved past case is a slow-burn thread. Daniel's reasons for moving to the Lakes and his evolving connection to Hannah are series-long arcs. For the full effect, watch from the pilot.

Why does no one talk about the short stories? He's written interconnected short stories featuring Devlin, like in 'Where Do You Find Your Ideas?'. They're not a 'series' in the novel sense, but they add depth to the character's world and were published in magazines over the years. A complete bibliography is a rabbit hole.

He also wrote under a pseudonym once, didn't he? Or am I thinking of someone else? Either way, his main body of work is under his own name. The challenge with a list is the reissues and reprints. Some of the early Devlin books got new editions with introductions, which is nice. For the most accurate, up-to-date list, his publisher's website or his own official site is the best bet. Forums like this are great for recommendations, but for pure bibliographic data, go straight to the source. I learned that after trying to piece together the order from various online stores with conflicting publication dates.

Rachel Reid has created quite a mesmerizing universe with her work, especially with series like 'Game Changer' and 'Heated Rivalry.' If you're just diving in, I'd suggest starting with 'Game Changer' because it not only introduces the characters but sets the tone for her storytelling style. Reid has a knack for blending romance with a powerful sense of identity, especially in the sports settings she loves. Once you finish that, you can seamlessly move into 'Heated Rivalry,' which follows the same universe but deepens the exploration of relationships and rivalries.
After that, if you feel hungry for more, there's 'The Final Shot.' It kind of ties things up beautifully and is a delightful read that builds on everything you've experienced in the previous books. What I admire about Reid’s writing is how emotionally rich her characters are, and how she smooths out their journeys with humor and heart. All in all, diving into her books in this order really enhances your experience and lets you appreciate the interconnections in her storytelling. You won't just be reading; you'll be feeling every moment!

Wait, are we counting the one he wrote under a pseudonym? Or is that a different author entirely? I can never keep these things straight.

Alright—if you mean the Rachel Morgan books by Kim Harrison (the one with the witch/bounty-hunter vibe), here’s how I read them and how I’d recommend you do it. Start with the core novels in publication order: 'Dead Witch Walking', 'The Good, the Bad, and the Undead', 'Every Which Way But Dead', 'A Fistful of Charms', 'For a Few Demons More', 'The Outlaw Demon Wails', 'White Witch, Black Curse', 'Black Magic Sanction', 'Pale Demon', 'A Perfect Blood', 'Ever After', and finish with 'The Witch With No Name'.
I like reading novellas and short stories after the novel that comes before them in publication order—many of the little Hollows shorts slot nicely between the big books and fill in character beats. If you prefer a slightly fluffier experience, read the short stories immediately after the book they reference; if you want to avoid any possible spoilers, finish the main novels first and then go back to the side pieces. I also keep a bookmarked list from the author site and a Goodreads shelf so I can track where each extra story fits. This series is a ride—epic friendships, messy moral choices, and a soundtrack of snark—so savor the pacing and let the world-building sink in.

One correction to some lists online: 'The Devil in Disguise' is definitively the last novel. There's no seventh full-length case. After that, Edwards moved on to the Lake District mysteries. The short story collection 'Where Do You Find Yourself?' came much later (2019) and is a nice coda, but it's not a novel. So your reading journey has a clear, six-book endpoint.

My book club did 'The House Guest' last month. The discussion was wild—everyone had a different theory halfway through. For a group, pick one with a great 'midpoint twist' to debate. 'Follow You Home' or 'The Retreat' would also be fantastic. So, if you're reading with others, that's your order: the one that sparks the best argument.
For solo reading, it doesn't matter. But seeing how others interpret the characters' decisions adds a layer. His books are great for that—they're designed to make you scream 'Don't go in there!' at the page.

I'm waiting for someone to make a TV series. If they do, they'll have a perfect sequence of seasons ready to go. Each novel is practically a screenplay already, with the perfect mix of mystery, scenery, and character moments.
