So I was hoping for some recommendations for books/series similar to criminal minds? Something like a series following the same detectives handling cases, since I love having a series where I can really fall in love with characters over a series. I'm open to anything you guys think would be good <3

*Mindhunter* by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker is exactly what you’re looking for. Douglas is the person basically responsible for setting up the BAU. The book follows the pursuit of various criminals. There’s no mention of *Criminal Minds* in there, but it was impossible for me to read without thinking of it. (It’s the basis for the *Mindhunter* show too.) While this is just a single book, Douglas has written a few others that may also interest you.
I don’t know if this would interest you – Allison Brennan’s Quinn & Costa series (first book is The Third to Die). An LAPD cop and the FBI form a Mobile Response Team to investigate complex crimes and hunt killers across the country. The novels are fast passed and have good character development.
