The Adelaide Henson Mystery series runs six books from 2019’s Mrs. Jones through To Find Just One in 2022. Henson is intelligent and disciplined but deeply alone when the series begins, and the cases she takes on systematically pull her out of professional isolation into personal risk.
The Jones books set the pattern: wealthy client, violent crime, a connection to organized crime that reaches far beyond Asheville. Mrs. Thomas and The Thomas Girls continue the surname structure while expanding Henson’s world and her relationships within it. The final two books, To Save Just One and To Find Just One, shift the focus toward rescue and recovery cases that draw on everything Henson has learned across the series.
