Order of John Ellsworth Books

John Ellsworth is an American author and former trial lawyer known for his popular Thaddeus Murfee series. Many of the stories in his books are inspired by his real-life experiences. For example, in one of his novels, the lawyers have airplanes, reflecting the fact that his firm owned a plane for travel between Chicago and Arizona during his legal career. Ellsworth primarily handled criminal cases as a trial lawyer, even serving as first chair on some capital murder cases. He also specialized in defending white-collar crimes and tax offenses. Eventually, he grew weary of the high-stress lifestyle associated with trial law and decided to pursue a career in writing.

John Ellsworth became a published novelist in 2014 with the novel The Defendants. Below is a list of John Ellsworth's books in order of when they were originally released:
