The Jeremy Logan series by Lincoln Child has 6 books and is best read in publication order, starting with Deep Storm (2006).
Start here: Deep Storm (2006) — then read straight through in publication order.

The order the books were released — the default way to read the series.
Dr. Jeremy Logan is an "enigmalogist" -- a Yale-affiliated investigator of unexplained phenomena who applies rigorous scientific method to cases that look supernatural on the surface: a mysterious ailment sweeping an Arctic research base, ghost sightings tearing apart a Massachusetts mansion, unexplained deaths circling a remote lighthouse. Lincoln Child writes the series alone (without co-author Douglas Preston), using Logan's investigative method -- assume a rational explanation exists, then find it -- to structure each book as a slow-burn mystery that keeps readers guessing whether the supernatural threat is real or engineered.
The series runs from Deep Storm (2006) through Chrysalis (2022), spanning underwater research stations, isolated wilderness, gothic mansions and other classically atmospheric settings that let Child indulge his taste for claustrophobic, slow-building dread.
Each novel is a self-contained investigation, so any entry works as a starting point. Publication order (Deep Storm, 2006, through Chrysalis, 2022) is the most natural way to watch Logan's investigative method develop across increasingly strange cases, though there's no ongoing serialized plot requiring it.
Six: Deep Storm (2006), Terminal Freeze (2008), The Third Gate (2012), The Forgotten Room (2015), Full Wolf Moon (2017) and Chrysalis (2022).
Each book is a self-contained case, so any order works, though publication order is the most natural default.
A Yale-affiliated 'enigmalogist' who investigates apparently supernatural phenomena using rigorous scientific method.
No -- this is Child's solo series, written without Preston, and has no crossover with Pendergast, Gideon Crew or Nora Kelly.
