Reading Order

Dear reader,

Below you can find the reading order of the Adam Lapid books. There are two possible recommended orders: according to book number or according to chronological order. 

It's important to know that The Auschwitz Detective is a prequel and so can be read first.

In nominal book order:

  1. Ten Years Gone
  2. The Dead Sister
  3. The Auschwitz Violinist
  4. A Debt of Death
  5. A Deadly Act
  6. The Unlucky Woman (short story)
  7. The Auschwitz Detective (this is a prequel so it may be read first)
  8. A Death in Jerusalem
  9. In That Sleep of Death

In internal chronological order:

  1. The Auschwitz Detective
  2. Ten Years Gone
  3. The Dead Sister
  4. The Auschwitz Violinist
  5. A Debt of Death
  6. A Deadly Act
  7. The Unlucky Woman (short story)
  8. A Death in Jerusalem
  9. In That Sleep of Death

Many readers of mine have read the books out of order and still enjoyed them.

The Payback Girl and my non-Adam Lapid short stories can be read in any order.
