Books in Order: Comprehensive Guide to Jodi Picoult's Novels

Jodi Picoult writes standalone novels that quietly interconnect: the McAfee family recurs across The Pact, Salem Falls, and Nineteen Minutes, Patrick Ducharme turns up in both Perfect Match and Nineteen Minutes, and Frankie Martine threads through Salem Falls, Second Glance, and Perfect Match. She's also written for Wonder Woman, an unusual crossover into comics for a novelist of her stature.

Her debut, Songs of the Humpback Whale, appeared in 1992. This guide runs all twenty-nine of her novels since, through 2024's By Any Other Name — more than three decades of case-by-case, deeply researched storytelling.
