Where Should You Start Reading?
The definitive starting point is the debut novel, New Girl in Town. This book introduces Olivia Knight as she relocates to the quiet town of Belle Grove, Virginia, hoping to escape the relentless stress of her FBI career. The peace is short-lived when a malnourished girl appears on her doorstep, plunging her into a complex kidnapping investigation and establishing her dynamic partnership with Brock.
What to Know Before You Start
This series excels at contrasting cozy settings—such as rustic cabins, small-town festivals, and tight-knit neighborhoods—with disturbing crimes. It is also completely separate from Elle Gray's other popular series, such as the Blake Wilder FBI series. There are no direct crossovers, meaning you can dive into Olivia Knight's cases without needing to read any other series first.
