The Recommended Reading Order

For the best experience, readers should follow the series in its publication order. The character arcs, interpersonal relationships, and Cass's developing psychic abilities build directly from one book to the next. The chronological order of the stories matches the order of publication, starting with Cass Donovan's return to Long Island and ending with her resolving a long-standing family mystery.

  1. Death at First Sight (2016) - Cass returns to Bay Island, opens Mystical Musings, and is pulled into a murder case after a startling vision.
  2. Occult and Battery (2017) - A murder mystery weekend at a haunted mansion turns into a real and deadly search for a killer during a blizzard.
  3. Clairvoyant and Present Danger (2018) - Guided by a ghostly apparition, Cass finds a body on the beach and must determine if her psychic gifts are a blessing or a curse.
  4. Spirited Away (2019) - A hectic tourist season leads to an unexpected murder right in Cass's shop.
  5. Grave Consequences (2020) - Cass is forced to dig into the secrets of the island's history when a body is discovered near a local landmark.
  6. A Spirit Seeks Asylum (2021) - An investigation into an abandoned asylum turns dangerous when a fresh body is uncovered.
  7. With a Spirit of Vengeance (2022) - Cass faces the demanding spirit of Ophelia Wilson to finally bring a killer to justice and close the case.

Is There a Chronological Order Caveat?

No. The publication order perfectly mirrors the chronological progression of Cass Donovan's adventures. There are no prequels or standalone novellas in the series, so starting with the first book and reading straight through to the seventh is highly recommended.

Spin-Offs and Connected Universes

While Lena Gregory has written other popular cozy mystery series, such as the All-Day Breakfast Café Mystery series and the Coffee & Cream Café Mystery series, they do not feature crossovers with the characters of Bay Island. Each series remains its own distinct, standalone universe.
