The Ava James FBI Mystery series by A.J. Rivers started in 2021 and has grown to 22 books. Ava James is an FBI agent whose cases take her from ivy-covered campuses to lakeside cabins to Hawaiian islands. The series began with Ava James and the Ivy Grove, establishing her as a determined investigator who follows cases wherever they lead.
Recent entries like Secrets in the Acadia and The Forgotten Girls have continued to expand Ava’s world. The series maintains the same page-turning pace that Rivers brings to her other work, with each book presenting a new case while building Ava’s character and professional relationships over time.
