The Messages of Murder series is Dawn Merriman’s longest-running work, with eight books published between 2019 and 2024. Each title follows the pattern “Message in the…” and centers on a different murder case where supernatural messages point toward the truth.
The series began with Message in the Bones and has grown steadily, with Merriman adding new entries every year or two. The books combine mystery plotting with paranormal elements, and the recurring protagonist develops across the full run. Readers who enjoy psychic detective stories will find this series covers a lot of ground over its eight installments.
