Perri O'Shaughnessy Books in Order
Chronological Order of the Books by Perri O'Shaughnessy
Perri O'Shaughnessy is most famous for their Nina Reilly mystery series. Below I have listed all of the books written by Perri O'Shaughnessy in the order that they were released. They have written some that do not have Nina in them and I will state that beside the book.
I wanted to provide a list in chronological order because I actually read Obstruction of Justice (the 3rd book in the series) first. At the time I did not know there was a series. After reading it I was hooked. So I looked for more books by Perri O'Shaughnessy. That's when I found out about the series and started reading them from the beginning.
I love this series because the main character has her imperfections, but she sticks to her beliefs, and is incredibly smart. She is a lawyer and there are courtroom scenes, but at heart it is a mystery novel. It actually reminds me of the old TV series Perry Mason. He was a lawyer but the main show was about solving the crime. If you liked that series you'll like these books.

Yes it is only one name on the books, but it is a pen name. There are actually two sisters, Pamela and Mary O'Shaughnessy, who write the books together. Mary was a multimedia writer. Pamela went to law school and then went onto practice law for sixteen years.
