question:
Book Number 4 is a prequel to the other books. One can read it first or read it in the order in which the books were published. Essentially it shows "how we got to where we are today." I might do another prequel later on.

“He had never thought of himself as much of a praying man, but as he sat in the car in the growing darkness and the minutes passed, he knew what it was to pray. It was to will goodness out of evil, hope out of despair, life out of death. It was to will dreams into existence and spectres into reality. It was to will an end to anguish and a beginning to joy.”

“Of all my children, you were always the hardest on yourself. You were always looking for the right way to behave, so concerned you might make a mistake. But, darling, there are no mistakes. There are only our wishes, our actions, and the consequences that follow both. There are only events, how we cope with them, and what we learn from the coping."
"That's too easy," he said.
"On the contrary. It's monumentally difficult.”

Thank you for the friend add. For me, you are the greatest mystery writer ever. Lynley, Havers, and company have seen me through some anxious and depressing times, and your books have become part of the fabric of my life. I look forward to each one like a small child looks forward to Christmas. Your books are the only hard copy books I buy now. I read and reread them. Good luck with your weekend baking. Some of your pies look gorgeous, and I'm sure they taste wonderful! Greatly anticipating Lynley #21 in May!
Thank you Elizabeth for becoming a friend on Good Reads.Your books look very good. You are a new author to me, so I hope to get more acquainted through your stories.
