The Compass Club books take place during the Regency period. It features four men who went to school together. Each was considered an outcast of some sort and they all banded together calling themselves The Compass Club, which was derived from their names North, South, East and West. They each get their own book which features a mystery they must solve for the Colonel Blackwell. The interesting thing about these books is they all take place at the same time and certain scenes are told in multiple books, but from different points of view.
I am reading these books in order, but I don't think it's necessary to do so. Since the books overlap, you really could read the books in any order and not lessen the reading experience.

Actually the last one - Beyond a Wicked Kiss and my favourite of the four, takes place somewhat later than the others - or at least it wraps up later. So while the order of the others doesn't matter too much, BAWK should be saved to last.
I'm so glad you are enjoying this author. She's one of my favourites and it's a good thing for you she does have a large backlist since she only puts out one a year. Mind you, I'm not one to wish she had more, since her writing is so deep that I would hate to see her lose that in an effort to write quicker. I'd rather have fewer books with higher quality.
Kristie - Oh thanks for letting me know about Beyond a Wicked Kiss. I was planning on reading it last anyway. I love her writing and I am so glad I have many great books ahead of me!
I have this series in paper form - you've made me want to listen to the stories too but I can't find them anywhere :(
They are, however, great books and if you liked the first one, there's no doubt you'll enjoy the rest of them!
Love the camaraderie of the four men. And like Kristie said, Goodman's writing is deep and explores some tough subjects.
The Compass Club, The Heart trilogy and the Dennehy sisters are some of my favorite Goodman books.
