Establishing the chronology of the novels is tricky because Mahu Men: Mysterious and Erotic Stories, and Accidental Contact: Mahu Investigations, fill in the gaps between novels. Here’s the way I organize the whole series. The novels are in ALL CAPS, while the stories are in quotation marks.
New readers may want to start with Mahu Tide, because it is a prequel to the series, taking place while Kimo is still pursing the surf circuit on the North Shore of O'ahu, before he decides to attend the police academy. But you can always just jump into the first book, Mahu, and come back to the prequel when you want.
