Do You Have to Read the Funderburke and Kaiming Series in Order?

 

No!  The Funderburke and Kaiming series is designed to composed of standalone books.  They can be read in any order.  You do not have to read them in publication order.  If you do read them in order (Ghosting My Friend, She Ruined Our Lives, Well-Behaved Children Seldom Make History), you will gain a better understanding of the characters and their history, but you won’t stumble across any spoilers if you read a later book before a previously published one.

Here’s the description: 

 

Thirteen-year-old Volker Berchtwelt is out for revenge. Almost one year earlier, his older brother Benek was arrested for the murder of his estranged girlfriend. When Volker gave Benek an alibi, no one believed him, and Benek was convicted. Thanks to Volker’s pleading, private investigators Isaiah Funderburke and Nerissa Kaiming start their own inquiry into the case, but when tragedy strikes, Volker snaps. Drawing inspiration from Roald Dahl’s Matilda and South Park, Volker plots to humiliate and destroy everybody responsible for the guilty verdict. But a diminutive, ticked-off kid can’t turn the criminal justice system upside down…can he?
