Books in Order: An Engaging Guide to Kathy Bennett's Novels

Kathy Bennett spent twenty-one years as a Los Angeles police officer, working as a senior lead officer, firearms instructor, crime analyst, and field training and undercover officer along the way — the kind of résumé that leaves no shortage of material for crime fiction. Her firsthand knowledge of how a police department actually works shows up in every plot.

She published her first novel, A Dozen Deadly Roses, in 2011. This guide covers three later novels instead, from Collateral Damage in 2019 through Damage Control in 2022 — the same procedural authenticity applied to a more recent case.
