After reading The Outsider, I fell in love with Holly Gibney. I love her personality and her mind for solving the most impossible of mysteries. I haven’t read the other stories, but my goal is to do so! I want to read them in chronological order. I already read The Outsider out of order (just learned about this character 😂). However, based on my research, the Bill Hodges trilogy serves more as an intro series to her story, and The Outsider is her first story without Bill. Works perfectly!

Holly is one of my favourite characters, I have OCD and I find her extremely relatable lol. The Bill Hodges trilogy are definitely worth a read, they're all so gripping - I read them after having read The Outsider first and felt it made me appreciate Holly even more!!
