James Hunt has been writing A Riveting Kidnapping Mystery books at a staggering pace since 2019. The series launched with The Abducted and has grown to 88 books in just six years, with Hunt frequently releasing more than a dozen titles in a single year. The 2022 and 2023 stretches were especially prolific, each adding close to twenty new entries to the lineup.
The titles give a clear sense of what readers are in for. Books like The Willow Springs Kidnappings, The Disappearance of Dakota Logan, and Gone without a Trace all point toward small-town abduction stories with plenty of suspense. Many of the later entries are named after specific locations, from Havenbrook and Avondale to Ridgewood and Cherry Street, suggesting standalone cases tied together by recurring characters or themes.
With 88 books and counting, this is one of the longer-running mystery series available today. The most recent release, The Marked Girl, came out in 2025, and Hunt shows no signs of slowing down. New readers should start with The Abducted (2019) and work forward in publication order.
