Jules Cassidy, P.I.

by Suzanne Brockmann

2026

Fan favorite Jules Cassidy steps into a fresh mystery, bringing his humor, heart, and sharp instincts along with him. It is a welcome return to one of Brockmann's most loved characters.

Series background & context

The Troubleshooters books take everything Brockmann was already good at in the Team Ten novels and build it into a much larger, richer world. This is not just one SEAL team. It is Navy SEAL Team Sixteen, Max Bhagat's FBI counterterror squad, and later the civilian security company Troubleshooters Incorporated, all woven together into one long-running romantic suspense universe.

The series begins with The Unsung Hero, and that first book tells you a lot about what Brockmann wants to do here. She is interested in missions, yes, but she is just as interested in communities, family history, side characters who become major characters later, and the way one crisis can pull together people from wildly different backgrounds. From there the cast keeps expanding. SEALs, pilots, agents, negotiators, bodyguards, translators, lawyers, and civilians all get their turn, and many of them do not disappear after their own book ends.

That is the real signature of the series. It is an ensemble. A romance may anchor each novel, but there are always other lives moving around it. Sam Starrett and Alyssa Locke, Jules Cassidy, Max Bhagat, Tom Paoletti, Kelly Ashton, and many more keep growing across multiple books. By the time you get into the middle of the series, the pleasure is not just in seeing who falls in love next. It is in returning to a whole web of friendships, grudges, loyalties, and unfinished stories.

The tone is broader than Tall, Dark & Dangerous. The action often feels bigger, the cases darker, and the ongoing arcs more ambitious. Brockmann can move from hostage rescues to political danger to Hollywood chaos to personal grief, and the books still hold together because the character work is so central. She likes competence, but she also likes vulnerability. Her heroes and heroines are rarely cool in the polished sense. They are bruised, impulsive, deeply loyal people trying to do hard jobs while carrying private damage.

Jules Cassidy is one of the emotional anchors that gives the series its shape. His long arc, and later his relationship with Robin, changed what many readers expected from mainstream romantic suspense. Brockmann made room for humor, queerness, friendship, and big ensemble feeling without losing the adrenaline.

Because the cast carries over so heavily, this is one of the strongest read-in-order series in her bibliography. You can jump in later, but the full effect comes from watching the world widen book by book. If you want Brockmann at her biggest, funniest, messiest, and most emotionally ambitious, Troubleshooters is the series to beat.
