I really enjoy books that give you a glimpse into the bad guy's point of view. I also really like psychological thrillers with awesome twists. So when I set out to write my first book, that's exactly what I wanted to offer the readers. There are many great mysteries and thrillers out there, but what makes the Charlie Easton books stand out is that the investigator isn't necessary the main character in the books. Charlie always appears and investigates, but the story doesn't revolve around her. It's about the hook. Like, one of the books is about a regular father waking up and discovering that his daughter is gone. In another book, a normal, happily married guy does something really brave and that really screws everything up for him. Because it reveals that he has been living a lie for many years. Q - What order should I read the books in? The books can be read in any order. All the storylines will be resolved by the end of each book. So the books are basically standalone novels except that they are all feature the same investigator. If you do want to read them in order, I'd suggest the following order: Good Girl Gone (novella) The Girl in the Snow (novella) The Dead Girl (full-length psychological thriller) Lost Girls (full-length novel coming soon) Q - So, why should readers give these books a try? Because the Charlie Easton series is a fast, thrilling ride with lots of twists and turns that will make you gasp. They are for readers who enjoy fast-paced thrillers that are easy and fun to read. Q - Can readers get the whole series in one go? Yes. I'm putting together box sets as soon as I have a couple of books ready so that people who want to save some money can get a bunch of books for a lower price. Check out my author page here at Amazon for more details, for a full list of available and upcoming titles. Q - Fill in the Blank. You will enjoy these books if you have enjoyed... Hmm, let's see. You will enjoy the Charlie Easton series of psychological thrillers if you have enjoyed Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train, Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl, and any books by Rachel Abbott like The Sixth Window. Other books that are in the same vein as mine are Robert Bryndza's Detective Erica Foster series especially the first book, The Girl in the Ice, and Adam Croft's Her Last Tomorrow and Only the Truth.
