Gail asked David Putnam:

Hi! I love thriller books - I categorize them as psychological thrillers. I love forensic science - I have read several books on how forensic science helps track down criminals. So with that being said - I would like to read one of your books - I have been following your reviews of books you have read on goodreads - which one of your books book should I read first? Thanks for any feedback you can give me.

David Putnam Hey, great hearing from you. I wrote the series in kind of an odd way. The first four are current day where Bruno is 48yrs old and a lot had happened to him in the past to get him to the place where The Disposables started (The Disposables is the first book in the current day). Then they followed in order of current day The Replacements, The Squandered, and The Vanquished.
Then I shifted to prequels to which there are four. The first one, The Innocents is when Bruno is just starting out as detective. The Prequels follow in order: The Innocents, The Reckless and the Heartless. The fourth and final prequel comes out next Feb. The Ruthless.
I do my best to write them as stand alones so you could pick up any of them and not be confused.
So having said that; I would start with either The Disposables, or The Innocents.
Thanks for your support.
;-)
