Reading Order for the "Murder Feels…" Mystery Series
Ready to read the cozy mystery adventures of Mark the Empath Detective, as told by his excitable sidekick, Pete? Here’s the preferred reading order for this series.
CHEAT CODE: It’s an “alphabet mystery” series. The key word of each title starts with the next letter of the alphabet. Book 1 has “A” for “Awful”, Book 2 has “B” for “Bad”, and so on.
Nice and easy.

Questions
Q: Can I read these books in any order?
A: Technically, yes. But why would you?
Each book in this mystery is a standalone mystery, so yes, you can read them in any order.
However, there’s also a legit series arc here, with character growth, tasty long-term plot questions, and a growing menace from a Big Baddie. So starting at Book 1 is definitely more fun.
Q: Isn’t this the “Empath Detective” Mystery Series?
A: Yes, that’s the original / official name…
… and the name you might see on Amazon or in the books themselves (until I update them).
It’s also on the covers.
But whenever I talk to people, they want to call it the “Murder Feels…” series, so I’ve kind of given up. Whatever works. 😄
For now, let’s consider “Murder Feels…” the official… nickname.
