The Structure Of A Series: Dornford Yates II

In the preceding post, we summarized the first six Chandos books:

Blind Corner
Perishable Goods
Blood Royal
Fire Below
She Fell Among Thieves
An Eye For A Tooth 

Because An Eye For A Tooth is an immediate sequel to Blind Corner and thus an extended flashback, this sequence of six novels chronologically ends with She Fell Among Thieves and thus with Richard Chandos' engagement to Jenny. (George Hanbury, having died between Fire Below and She Fell Among Thieves, is seen alive again, but for the last time, in An Eye For A Tooth.)

The remaining two Chandos books, Red In The Morning and Cost Price, form a sequence with five other novels by Yates:

in Safe Custody, because Mansel had killed "Rose" Noble in Perishable Goods, the thug, Punter, now works for Harris who dies trying to steal the treasure of Hohenems;

in Shoal Water, Mansel defeats The Shepherd, a patron of the thieves' kitchen, The Wet Flag;

in Adele And Co., Mansel and his cousins defeat Daniel Gedge, another patron of The Wet Flag;

Gale Warning (see the previous post) ends with Richard and Jenny Chandos and Mansel on holiday in Freilles, France;

Red In The Morning begins in Freilles where Mansel and Chandos encounter Punter, then Gedge, the former now working for the latter, and Mansel also meets Toby Rage who had appeared in "Toby" and in "Childish Things" and will later appear in The Berry Scene;

in Cost Price, Punter informs another thief, Friar, of the Hohenems treasure but Mansel and Chandos intervene;

in Ne'er-Do-Well, Chief Inspector (now Superintendent) Falcon, who also appears in four short stories in Period Stuff, informs Mansel, Chandos and Jenny of one of his investigations. Falcon is also in Red In The Morning and The House That Berry Built.

Adele And Co. is one of the ten Berry books narrated by Boy Pleydell.
