The 50 States of Murder series by Jon Mills uses a simple but effective concept: each book presents a crime thriller set in a different American state. Lost Girls: The Maine Murders (2018) launched the series, followed by Murder Games: The New York Murders (2020). The location-specific approach gives each book its own identity and atmosphere.
With only two books published so far, the series is still in its early stages. The state-by-state format allows Mills to explore different types of crime stories shaped by their geographic settings, from small-town Maine to the crowded streets of New York. Each book works as an independent read, making the series accessible to new readers at any point.
