Last Updated on March 13, 2019 Linda Fairstein is the author of the Alexandra Cooper thriller series focusing on Alexandra, Manhattan Assistant DA, and her partner, Detective Mike Chapman.
The author has also written a true crime series titled From the Files of Linda Fairstein and has recently started a new mystery series for children, called Devlin Quick, with two books currently published.
I am generally not a major fan of true-crime books, so I have not yet read the author’s series, but I am religiously following her Alex Cooper series.
While the books can be read as standalone novels, it makes much more sense to read the series in order, to follow Alex and Mike’s relationship evolve.

Linda Fairenstein is an evil woman who publically destroyed the lives of five underaged boys in the 1980’s if you didnt know..now youu know…find the docu series and research the EXONERATED FIVE. She ripped out the innocence and trust of these five boys who served from 6-13 years in prison for a crime that was proven and clear from the beginning that she did not commit. she was an overseer who was/ is a COWARD who placed a BRICK on the scale of justice that cost the trauma of 5 boys, for her personal and professional gain. SHE DID NOT CARE FOR THESE KIDS, SHE DID NOT CARE FOR THE WOMEN WHO WERE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AND BEAT.
My favorite author. I have read all of the Alexandra Cooper books and hoping there will be another.
Have you not seen the news ? Linda the author is a terrible human being

Please continue to write your wonderful Alexandra Cooper series…miss my friends , coop, mike and mercer…during these unsettling times it would be so refreshing to read about your characters..i am not interested in what the press and your others readers have said..they probably are not even current in what is happening in the u.s. these past four years..if your readers are still sipping the kool aid and are not speaking out about the horrible way america has been heading under the non leadership we have had so be it!! let them be vocal and trash the former president…not you…please be well and safe and use the gift that you have and let your fans decide whether they want more coop…stay strong! paula
