New Readers Start With A COLD DARK PLACE!
TONI ANDERSON READING ORDER
Dear Reader,
Thank you for being here! As you may know, I write Romantic Thrillers with guaranteed Happily Ever Afters. As an avid reader myself, I’m sometimes a little daunted when I spy a super-long series (looking at you, J.D. Robb). And, as there are now so many titles in the Cold JusticeĀ® world, I figured I’d put this page together to help readers figure out where to start.
Every novel is a standalone with its own hero and heroine and a complete plot.
Ā
SERIES & OVERLAP…
My Cold JusticeĀ® books are centered around fictional members of the FBIās Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG). Every novel is a standaloneĀ story.
āCold JusticeĀ® seriesā mainly features agents from the Behavioral Analysis Unit 4 (think “profilers” and Mindhunter).
āCold JusticeĀ® – The Negotiatorsā features agents from the Crisis Negotiation Unit.
āCold JusticeĀ® – Most Wantedā features agents from the Hostage Rescue Team.
āHER ā Romantic Suspenseā is a different series entirely, but secondary characters in these books later appear in the Cold JusticeĀ® world.
Many characters appear in secondary roles in multiple stories and itās impossible to include every nuance here.
For those who like to read in order, here is theĀ recommendedĀ reading order for each series. And, as there is some overlap in timelines, I’ve also compiled a chronological reading order below.Ā

STEM Heroines
Probably as a reflection of my own background as a Marine Biologist, I’ve written quite a few STEM heroines. I like to think that all my heroines are smart (regardless what the occasional reviewer might say LOL).
Sea of Suspicion (Susie Cooper ā Marine Biologist)
Storm Warning (Sorcha Logan ā Ornithologist)
Edge of Survival (Cameron Young ā Fish Biologist)
The Killing Game (Axelle Dehn ā Snow Leopard Biologist)
Cold Light Of Day (Scarlett Stone – Physicist)
Cold In The Shadows (Audrey Lockhart ā Frog Biologist)
Cold As Ice (Darby OāRoarke – Volcanologist)
Cold Silence (Yael Brooks ā Computer Hacker)
Cold Deceit (Zoe Miller – Anthropologist)
Fun Fact:Ā Dangerous Waters is set at a Marine Laboratory on the west coast of Vancouver Island where my husband often works.
There is a slight overlap between Sea Of Suspicion and Storm Warning. Both books are set in Fife, Scotland, where I spent many years, first as a postgrad and then as a researcher, and then as a mother.
