Posadas County Mystery Reading Order: Steven F. Havill's Series

Steven F. Havill’s Posadas County Mysteries are quietly excellent desert-Southwest procedurals, following the sheriff’s department of a small, sun-baked New Mexico county. A connoisseur’s series — patient, authentic, and underread. Best in publication order.
