Tuesday Teaser - Series Order

As the Black Swamp Mysteries series gains in popularity, I've been asked which order to read them. Here's a list of the books and a quick peak into each:

Exit 22 introduces computer hacker Brenda Carnegie and political strategist Christopher Sandige. When Chris is involved in an automobile accident at Exit 22 in North Carolina, he is stranded for the weekend in Lumberton. He meets beautiful but mysterious Brenda Carnegie and is immediately pulled into a double homicide. Now they're on the run from law enforcement - and a hired assassin who wants them dead.

Vicki's Key is the second in the series. After CIA mission goes awry, psychic spy Vicki Boyd leaves the CIA to start her life over in a small town helping an elderly woman. But when she arrives in Lumberton, she finds Laurel Maguire has suffered a stroke and her nephew Dylan has arrived from Ireland to help her. Vicki quickly falls in love with the charming and handsome Irishman. But all is not what it seems in Aunt Laurel's old, rambling home. And when the CIA arrive to pull Vicki back into one last mission, her past and her future are about to collide - in murder.

Secrets of a Dangerous Woman has Dylan Maguire on his first CIA mission: to interrogate recently captured Brenda Carnegie. But when she escapes again, it's obvious she had help from inside the CIA's own ranks. Now, with Vicki Boyd's psychic assistance, she's back in his custody again and he must find out why some in the highest positions in government want her dead - while others will risk everything to help her. And when he discovers she is Vicki's sister, his mission has just become very personal.

In Dylan's Song, the fourth in the series, Dylan and Vicki journey to Ireland for a joint CIA mission: to locate and extract a missing CIA operative. But when Dylan receives word that his grandmother is dying, it plunges him into a past he thought he'd left behind forever. Now he must confront his past demons before it derails his mission and endangers his and Vicki's lives. And while Vicki discovers the real reason he left Ireland for America, she is harboring a secret of her own.
