Dorothy Simpson Reading Order

15 books (1980–1999)

Dorothy Simpson's Inspector Thanet series comprises 15 complete mysteries published between 1980 and 1999, following the investigations of the titular detective through cases of murder and suspicion. Read in publication order beginning with The Night She Died, the series unfolds chronologically as Simpson developed her protagonist and the criminal cases that define his career. The final entry, Dead and Gone, concludes the detective's journey after nearly two decades of mysteries. These police procedurals blend traditional detective work with character development, making the series equally rewarding whether read consecutively or sampled individually.

Start with The Night She Died, the first of 15 books in the Inspector Thanet series.
