Order of D.S. Jessica Daniel Books

Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel stands as the central character in British author Kerry Wilkinson's gripping crime fiction series. This compelling female detective has earned comparisons to Lynda La Plante's iconic Jane Tennison, marking her as one of the most captivating protagonists in contemporary crime literature. Despite Kerry being a unisex name and the character being female, the author is definitively male, though this has occasionally confused some news outlets.

Wilkinson launched the D.S. Jessica Daniel series in 2011 with his self-published debut novel Locked In. The series continues to evolve, with the author planning at least nine novels in total. The following list presents Kerry Wilkinson's D.S. Jessica Daniel novels arranged by publication date, which aligns with their chronological sequence:
