The Joey Mancuso, Father O’Brian series by Owen Parr is an ongoing crime mystery series that pairs an unlikely duo: Joey Mancuso, an ex-NYPD detective who now owns a cigar bar in lower Manhattan, and his half-brother Father Dominic O’Brian, a Catholic priest. When murders happen in and around New York City, the two brothers combine Joey’s investigative instincts with Father Dom’s connections and insight to crack the cases.
The series launched with A Murder On Wall Street (2017) and quickly expanded, with three books published that first year alone. The cases range from a serial killer terrorizing Manhattan (The Manhattan Red Ribbon Killer) to a family murder (The Murder of Paolo Mancuso) to more far-flung settings like the Florida Keys (The Islamorada Murders). With thirteen books published between 2017 and 2024, this is Owen Parr’s most prolific series. The books work best read in order, as Joey and Father Dom’s relationship develops over time, but each mystery is self-contained enough that readers who jump in mid-series will not be lost.
