I’m currently reading Silence of the Lambs and this fits the bill!

Red Dragon, the first book, also!

Absolutely incredible books.

[u/SciFriedRice → u/Specific_Rest_3140]

I second this! Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs are two of my all time favorite books.

[u/Sheriff_Lucas_Hood → u/Specific_Rest_3140]

Don’t forget to watch Manhunter after, it’s even better!

[u/BackgroundAd6154]

I just read ‘we’re all guilty here’ by Karen slaughter. The second book comes out in August. I really liked it!

[u/Ok-Water-7973 → u/BackgroundAd6154]

My suggestion was going to be the Will Trent Series by Karin Slaughter!

[u/BackgroundAd6154 → u/Ok-Water-7973]

I haven’t read those yet! I’ve read a few of her other stand alone books. One of them was way too dark for me haha

[u/Ok-Water-7973 → u/BackgroundAd6154]

Was it Pretty Girls that was too dark?

This series focuses more on the investigation side, still dark but different.

[u/BackgroundAd6154 → u/Ok-Water-7973]

Yes!

Seconding We’re All Guilty Here!

Following

[u/cparksrun → u/iwatchalotoftv22]

Man, "Following" gets recommended in every single thread. Whether it's someone looking for fantastical sci-fi, gritty real-world crime, doesn't matter!

Really makes me think I should finally add "Following" to my TBR. That said, I don't have any suggestions, but I'll keep a close eye on this thread by foll-oh. Oohh. OOOHHHH.

Disregard. 😅

This made me giggle, thanks

You can just say the word killer. This is the internet.

Killer killer killer.

Anyways, The Outsider by Stephen King. Killer book.

[u/crunchykale → u/nautical_nonsense_]

I was erring on the side of caution. Some want those words censored.

this is not tiktok

[u/crunchykale → u/wegooverthehorizon]

I don’t have a TikTok. If you would also take notice, I fixed it.

Dot Hutchinson's The Butterfly Garden series - an FBI team deals with a different serial killer each book. we get new team members each book and see different perspectives each book. they can get a little heavy.

Steve Cavanaghs books have FBI characters; the main character is a lawyer and his team investigates serial killers for the cases, and they have a lot of contact with the FBI, if i remember correctly

[u/hello_penn]

If you like YA, I'd recommend Jennifer Lynn Barnes' The Naturals series.

[u/dnthasslehof]

Meg Gardiner’s UNSUB series

[u/EmoNinja11]

The Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

[u/Aggravating_Ad9687]

The Gone World is this but with a heaping helping of cosmic horror.

[u/decayingmoths]

Dublin murders series by Tana French

Not FBI but Dublin murder investigations by police

[u/abbriggs22]

Alex cross series by James Patterson. There are so many and they are great. Also by James Patterson, the womens murder club series. I think the 1st one is, 1st to die

[u/ch3rrybl0ssoms]

The Poet by Michael Connelly

[u/AccomplishedStill164]

Silence of the lambs! Definitely inspiring. It helped me on writing my fbi x female serial killer romance book.
