Order of Aaron Elkins Books

Aaron Elkins is an American author of mystery novels. Before becoming a novelist, Elkins was an anthropologist, thus it sense that his main character is forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver. He has also written a series about a museum curator and co-authors a series of golf-themed mystery novels with his wife Charlotte, featuring Lee Ofsted.
Aaron Elkins did not start writing until 1978 at 44 years of age. That novel would end up being published in 1982, titled Fellowship of Fear – the start of his Gideon Oliver series. Below is a list of Aaron Elkins’ books in order of when they were first released:
