How to Read the Adele Sharp Series in Order

If you are planning to join FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp on her high-stakes international manhunts, the best way to do so is in publication order. Because Adele’s career progression, her transfer to Interpol, and her personal quest—solving the cold case of her mother's murder—develop continuously across the books, jumping around will spoil key plotlines and character arcs.

Publication Order vs. Chronological Order

Fortunately for readers, the chronological timeline of the Adele Sharp series matches the publication order exactly. There are no prequels, flashback novellas, or standalone short stories that disrupt the sequence. You can simply grab the first book and read straight through to the sixteenth without worrying about timeline confusion.

Are There Any Crossovers or Spin-Offs?

While Blake Pierce is an incredibly prolific thriller author with dozens of law enforcement characters (such as Riley Paige or Jessie Hunt), the Adele Sharp series remains completely self-contained. You do not need to read any of Pierce's other series to understand Adele's story, nor does she make crossover appearances in his other books. This makes the series a perfect, clean entry point for readers new to the author's work.
