Publication order — there is a continuing thread about Grace's missing wife Sandy running the length of the series, and it is the main reason not to dip in at random. They Thought I Was Dead is Sandy's own story and sits outside the main sequence. Wish You Were Dead is a short Quick Reads book, a Grace family holiday in France gone wrong, not a full-length novel.
