Last night I finished the second season of Mindhunter on Netflix and from what I hear the next season won’t be on for almost two years! Needless to say at this time I’m craving more FBI investigations and hunts for serial killers. I’m hoping that this list of FBI romance books that I’ve compiled along with the help I enlisted on Facebook, will satisfy this need for hunting down killers.
Along with this list of of FBI romance books I’ve also been binge listening to the True Crime All the Time podcast and which I recommend to all true crime lovers and this too could help with the need for crime while waiting impatiently for more Mindhunter.
Add the image below to your book board on Pinterest and let’s get on to the the list of books, shall we?
Faces of Evil by Debra Webb
he thought she’d left the murders-and his obsession-behind . . .
Special Agent Jess Harris has spent more than a decade studying the many faces of evil. In her determination to stop a serial killer, she broke the rules, and it cost her everything. With her career in need of resuscitation and her love life dead and buried, Jess jumps at a chance to advise on a case that has the top detectives of Birmingham, Alabama, stumped. But the case forces her to confront all the reasons she put her hometown-and her first love-in her rearview mirror.
Four young women have gone missing, and Police Chief Dan Burnett will do anything to find them before it’s too late-even if it means asking for help from the woman who has spent a decade avoiding him. Jess agrees to lend a hand and welcomes the diversion of a new case, a new life to save to make up for the victims she’s lost. But then the unthinkable happens: the crazed serial killer from her past follows Jess to Birmingham. The situation is becoming increasingly desperate-and time is swiftly running out . . .

Zoe’s case leads her to the victim’s hometown and to homicide detective William Vaughan, Zoe’s on-again, off-again lover. As the two become more involved in the case, they quickly realize that it isn’t as cold as they first believed: someone’s still out there hunting women. And with more women gone missing, time’s running out. Can they work together and stop this madman before he kills again?
