The John Easy series by Ron Goulart consists of four books published between 1971 and 1974. The series opens with If Dying Was All and continues with Too Sweet to Die, The Same Lie Twice, and One Grave Too Many. All four came out in consecutive years, so Goulart wrote them at a fast clip.
Reading these books in publication order is recommended, as characters and storylines carry over from one entry to the next. The entire series fits into a tight four-year window, making it a quick read for anyone looking to go through the full run.
