The Dressed to Kill series is R.A. Smyth’s most structurally ambitious project. All nine books were published in 2023, and each is named after a different character: Harlow, Selena, Ivory, Royal, Raven, Naomi, Karma, Darcy, and Tabitha. The structure lets Smyth explore the same events and world from multiple perspectives.
The interconnected design means that reading one book illuminates details in the others. While each book centers on its title character’s story, the relationships and conflicts overlap in ways that reward readers who go through the full set. The rapid publication schedule kept the momentum going, and the series has drawn attention for its scale and ambition within the dark romance genre.
