Vicky Knerly’s standalone novels offer three separate mystery and thriller stories that sit outside her connected series. Three Keys to Murder (2012) was among her earliest releases, followed by Manipulation in 2013 and Collecting Shadows in 2017.
These books let Knerly explore different setups and characters without the constraints of a series arc. Each novel works as a self-contained read, giving readers a way to sample her writing style before jumping into her longer trilogy commitments like The God Tools or Samuel Tolen.
