    I can not find the book In Odd We Trust in the list of books. Is In Odd We Trust part of the Odd Series?
    Thank you.

      Hi Melody – that is a graphic novel and listed under the “Odd Thomas Graphic Novels” series listing above. Chronologically I believe it takes place before the first Odd Thomas novel

    Great help and now realise I’m missing quite a few books. Thought I had most but quite a few slipped through the cracks unfortunately. Think too little lifetime left to catch up with them all.
    Would love to know if Dean ever intends to finish the trilogy Moonlight Bay. Bought the first but resisted reading them until I had the third. Don’t want to start and then be left out on a limb wondering how it finishes
