Chris Mooney’s standalone novels span his career, from the early thrillers Deviant Ways (2000) and World Without End (2001) to the more recent Blood World (2020), which adds science fiction elements to his crime fiction formula. Remembering Sarah (2004) falls between, offering a psychological thriller about a father searching for his missing daughter.
Deviant Ways was Mooney’s debut, a serial killer thriller that introduced his dark, fast-paced style. World Without End followed a year later with another crime plot. After Remembering Sarah, Mooney shifted his focus to the Darby McCormick series for over a decade before returning to standalone fiction with Blood World, which imagines a near-future world where a blood-borne substance creates a black market.
The sixteen-year gap between Remembering Sarah and Blood World reflects Mooney’s long commitment to the McCormick series. These four standalones bracket that run and show how his interests evolved from straightforward crime thrillers to genre-blending territory.
