Which Bulverde Beat Story Should You Read First?

Which Bulverde Beat Story Should You Read First? I get this question more than you might think. With four Bulverde Beat stories available, new readers often ask me where to jump in. The short answer? Any of them. I designed each story to stand alone — no cliffhangers, no required backstory, no homework. But if you're looking for my recommendation, I'd point you toward Bulverde Beat: Mystery Explosion. Why Start with “Mystery Explosion?” Here's the thing about first meetings: they matter. Mystery Explosion is where you'll meet Detective Luke Remington of the Comal County Sheriff’s Office, Mike Sellers, the Sheriff, and ex-fighter pilot turned Private Detective, Harry Miles, for the first time. You'll see how they work together, how they think, and what drives them when a case gets under their skin. The story opens with a county prosecutor dead in a fiery car explosion. Accident? Harry's gut and keen institution says otherwise. Luke’s sharp instincts agree. Together, they dig into what everyone else wants to write off as tragic bad luck. What you get in Mystery Explosion: Your first look at Luke's methodical, no-nonsense approach to investigation Harry's background as a consultant who sees angles others miss The rhythm of small-town Texas law enforcement — where secrets run deep A case that starts simple and peels back layers you won't see coming
But Really, Jump In Anywhere That said, don't feel locked in. Each Bulverde Beat story is built to welcome new readers: The Code — If you prefer psychological puzzles, start here. A brutal murder with a suspect who won't talk and a motive that blindsides everyone. Death on a Texas Highway — For readers who like moral dilemmas wrapped in mystery. A man faces an impossible choice, and the consequences ripple through everything. Active Shooter — If you want immediate tension, this puts Harry and Deputy Jennifer Brasco in the crosshairs of a deadly restaurant standoff. What They All Share No matter where you start, you're getting the same thing: clean storytelling that helps pay attention. Characters who feel real because they're based on people I've known. Cases that dig into what happens when justice meets human nature in a place where everyone's business is everyone's business. The 99¢ Entry Point Right now, both Mystery Explosion and The Code are available for 99¢ exclusively on Amazon. That's less than a cup of coffee for a story that'll stick with you longer. If you're curious about the Bulverde Beat but not sure if small-town Texas mystery is your thing, either of these makes for an easy test drive. My Honest Take The best mysteries don't need explosions every chapter or plot twists every page. Sometimes the most gripping story is a PI consultant who notices what others miss, a County Detective who follows procedure and asks the right questions, and a case that won't let go. If that sounds like your kind of read, welcome to Bulverde. 👉 Search "Ed Benjamin Mystery Explosion" on Amazon to start with Harry and Luke's first case. Or browse the full Bulverde Beat series at your favorite eBook retailer. Thanks for considering these stories — and for supporting the kind of mystery that honors both the reader's intelligence and the everyday heroes who keep our small towns safe.
