Order of Chris Simms Books

Chris Simms is an English author known for the Detective Spicer series and the Sean Blake Mystery series. He grew up in rural Sussex, developing a passion for reading early on, inspired by his father’s campfire readings of MR James' ghost stories. Although he read extensively throughout his life, he only began writing after turning 30. The idea for his first novel emerged shortly after his birthday when his car broke down on the roadside. Chris was recognized as one of Waterstones' '25 Authors for the Future.'

Chris Simms became a published novelist in 2003 with the novel Outside the White Lines. Below is a list of Chris Simms's books in order of when they were originally released:
