Publication order, and unusually strictly for a detective series — the characters and the running Sûreté storyline carry across books, and several later titles depend on earlier ones completely. Watch for UK title changes: A Fatal Grace was published here as Dead Cold. The next, Miss Wolcott's Ghost, is listed for October 2026.
