The Rachel Bower Universe

While each of my mystery thriller books can be read as a standalone thriller, several are set in the town of Berryville and feature Sergeant Rachel Webb-Bower and her team. If you'd like to follow Rachel's journey and see how he and his crew evolve, I recommend reading my suspenseful mystery thrillers in this order:

  1. Debt Collector
  2. Deadly Run
  3. Nowhere to Run (Never Safe Again)
  4. Granny's Revenge
  5. Whispers  of Vengeance: Sarah's Twist of Fate
  6.  Where are All the children?
  7. Deadly Confessions
  8. Lipstick Murders

However, you can jump in anywhere and enjoy each story on its own!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your books standalone or part of a series?

My mysteries and psychological thrillers are standalones, meaning each tells a complete story. However, several books are set in the same universe with recurring characters like Joe and Rachel Bower and their team in Berryville. You can read them in any order, but following the suggested reading order above will let you see character development over time.

What age group are your books appropriate for?

My mystery thrillers and psychological suspense books contain violence with some gory details, but nothing too graphic. There's no swearing or detailed love scenes. I'd be comfortable allowing my twelve-year-old grandchild to read them, so they're appropriate for mature middle-grade readers and up.

What can I expect from your thrillers?

Expect suspenseful, action-packed psychological thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat. My stories blend crime investigation, complex characters, and emotional depth with the kind of twists and tension that make it hard to put the book down.
