ABOUT THE RYAN MALLARDI PRIVATE INVESTIGATION

Each of the books has enough background information about the characters to read as stand-alone stories. However, the main character arcs continue to grow and change throughout the books, so the series is best experienced if read in order.

Each book has a mystery that resolves at the end of the book. There are no cliffhangers with the exception of Ryan getting a phone call in Book 3 about what case he will be investigating in Book 4.
