I think that nearly everyone on this forum who routinely reads mystery series will tell you that you should read the books in order. Part of the pleasure of a series is watching the various characters evolve over time. Some will say a book is a book so go ahead and read what and when you want. My advice would be to read any series in order. Last Edited on: 4/30/10 11:36 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

LeeAnne said it so tactfully! Kim, here in this forum we seem to be a large population of people who border on OCD with our need to read a set of books in order.
Sadly, (said tongue-in-cheek) there are several Patterson haters here, but we try to love them anyway. LOL! I've been reading the Alex Cross series for years and I truly enjoy the series. I hope you also enjoy it! |

Definately read them in order. The later books make many references to earlier books and developements. |

another vote for read in order....I remember reading some of Kay Scarpetta books out of order and was so confused (this was before I knew about an order!). While I'm not OCD (like Melani ) I do prefer to read in order and see the characters evolve.
some series you could read out of order but then they will reference previous books/stories and then you'll know what happens when you go back and read that book |
