Lucy Kendall Books in Order

The Lucy Kendall series is one of Stacy Green’s darkest runs. It follows Lucy Kendall, a former Child Protective Services worker who has seen the system fail vulnerable children too many times. By the time the series begins, Lucy is working as a private investigator, but that is only the public version of her life. The secret version is far more dangerous.

Lucy targets predators she believes escaped justice.

That premise gives the series its sharpest tension. Lucy is not a clean hero, and Green does not treat her like one. She is angry, damaged, often reckless, and sometimes frighteningly calm about crossing lines that should not be crossed. Still, the books keep readers close enough to understand why she became this person, especially as her past, her sister’s trauma, and her years in child protection shape every choice she makes.

All Good Deeds starts with a missing child and a known predator who has been released back into the community. Lucy pushes into the case, certain the official investigation will not move fast enough. Along the way she meets Chris Hale, a man with his own dark history and his own reasons for wanting to stand close to her work. Their relationship is tense, uneasy, and never simple.

The later books widen the danger. See Them Run pulls Lucy toward a child-trafficking network and makes her a suspect in a murder she did not commit. Gone to Die brings serial killer Mary Weston to the center of the story when Chris disappears. All Fall Down forces Lucy to face the consequences of the life she has built and the bodies behind her.

This is psychological suspense, not a cozy PI series. The subject matter involves child abuse, trafficking, vigilante violence, and trauma, though Green tends to focus more on the chase, the moral conflict, and the emotional fallout than on graphic detail.

Read the series in order, beginning with All Good Deeds. The prequel novella Hear No Lies can be read before or after book one, but it works well once you know who Lucy is and why her choices feel so dangerous.
