The Clearwater series is a 50-book run of mysteries and crime stories set in a fictional Florida town. Al Rennie published the first entry, Clearwater Journals, in 2014 and kept up an aggressive release schedule through Clearwater Birthday in 2020. Each book takes its title from “Clearwater” followed by a word that hints at the central plot.
The titles alone suggest the range of stories: Clearwater Ambush, Clearwater Predator, Clearwater Undercover, Clearwater Kidnap, and dozens more. The Florida setting provides a backdrop of heat, tourism, and the mix of locals and transients that makes small-town crime fiction work. While the series does not require sequential reading, returning characters and evolving relationships reward readers who stick with it.
The volume of the series is its most striking feature. Fifty books in six years means Rennie was producing content at a pace that kept fans reading year-round. For anyone who wants a long mystery series with a consistent setting and quick reads, Clearwater has plenty to offer.
