The Cady Maddix Mystery series is a trilogy of dark psychological thrillers by Kylie Brant. The books follow Deputy US Marshal Cady Maddix as she investigates disturbing crimes that often have personal ties to her own past. Published between 2018 and 2020 through Amazon Publishing, this series represents Brant’s shift from category romance into grittier standalone thriller territory.
Each book features a self-contained case, but Cady’s personal story threads through all three novels. The series starts with Cold Dark Places and should be read in publication order for the full impact of her character arc.
