The Hero series is a transitional grouping in M.A. Comley’s catalog that brings together the early Sara Ramsey books with titles from the Intention series. Its 11 books span 2013 to 2021, covering the period when Comley was establishing the Sara Ramsey character and her investigative world around Hereford.
The Sara Ramsey strand of the series – Torn Apart, End Result, Deadly Act, In Plain Sight, Double Jeopardy, Criminal Actions, Regrets Mean Nothing, Prowlers – forms a coherent sequence of police procedural novels. The Intention strand – Sole Intention, Grave Intention, Devious Intention – brings in a separate but thematically related focus on motivation and intent in criminal behavior.
For new readers, the Hero series is most useful as context for understanding where the D.I. Sara Ramsey series began. The early books have a slightly different feel from the later Ramsey entries, reflecting Comley’s development as a writer over the period. Reading them in the Hero order gives a clear picture of how the Sara Ramsey character evolved.
