Ready to read the paranormal mystery adventures of Mark Falcon, 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 mystery series tend to be named after the detective, so let’s go with Mark Falcon. At least for now…
