The Miranda and Parker Mystery series is Linsey Lanier’s longest-running work, with twenty books published from 2014 to 2025. The series centers on Miranda Steele, whose search for her missing daughter brings her into contact with private investigator Wade Parker, and the two form a partnership that deepens across the books.
Set primarily in Atlanta, the series moves through a range of cases with titles like Roses from My Killer, Vanishing Act, and Sonata for a Killer that give a sense of the mix of crime types and tones on offer. The books have a consistent structure but build on character history, so readers familiar with earlier entries get more out of the later ones.
The series ran through a high-output period from 2014 to 2019 before continuing at a slower pace into the 2020s, with Deadly Encore published in 2025 as the most recent entry. For readers new to Lanier’s work, All Eyes on Me is the place to start.
