Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Kellye Garrett's Novels

Kellye Garrett wrote for Hollywood before she wrote about it. Armed with a magazine-writing degree from Florida A&M and a screenwriting MFA from USC, the New Jersey native spent years in television — including on the series Cold Case — and that screenwriter's timing powers her Detective by Day novels. The series counts two books so far, Hollywood Homicide (2017) and Hollywood Ending (2018), and this guide presents them in order.

Garrett threads suspense with drama and real humor, keeping the twists coming at a brisk clip. Two titles make for one of the quicker reading orders around, but sequence still matters here: start where the story starts, with Hollywood Homicide.
