4. I would read them in order...

The main character, Lucas Davenport, has 'life' changes over time that play a more than passing role in the stories, such as the job that he is in. I think it's better to read the books in sync with the development of his personal 'plot'.

This is one of my favorite series of all time. I have e-book copies of nearly all of them, and enjoy re-reading them.

As an FYI, the Lucas character in the initial 2-3 books isn't all that likable, but that changes by book 5. I think that Sandford was still in the character-development stage, including a romantic relationship for Lucas early-on that he seems to have had second thoughts about.

BTW, book 26, called Extreme Prey, is about a crazed assassination attempt on a female candidate running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Yes, that candidate, by a different name. It's a good one.

Here's the chronological order of the stories from Goodreads:
