The Caroline Mabry series is where Jess Walter started as a novelist. Over Tumbled Graves (2001) introduced the Spokane detective, and Land of the Blind (2003) continued her story. Thin Space sits between them as a shorter companion piece.

These are solid crime novels that show Walter’s early skills with plot and character. Readers who know him from Beautiful Ruins might be surprised by how firmly these books sit in the crime genre. They are worth reading on their own terms, and they give context for how Walter developed as a writer.
