The Elle Keen FBI Suspense Thriller series by Ava Strong contains nine books published between 2021 and 2024. The series uses two alternating naming patterns: the “Not Like” titles and the “In The” titles, each reflecting different aspects of Keen’s investigations.
The earlier “Not Like” books, starting with Not Like Us, focus on deception and false appearances. The “In The” entries, beginning with In The Dark, shift toward atmosphere and setting. Together, the nine books trace Elle Keen’s development as an investigator who learns to trust her instincts when nothing around her is what it seems.
