I'm a big fan of Criminal Minds, and when I realised there were accompanying books I couldn't wait to purchase them. As I knew already, Collins does a good job at translating the characters to books, a task I wouldn't wish on anybody. It was great reading new stories about some of my favourite characters. Overall, they're a good, easy read that require practically no imagination because you already know the people and their history, but they're nothing special.

An elite team of FBI profilers help Chicago detectives investigate a series of bizarre murders that are modeled after the crime scenes of three of the country's most notorious serial killers--the Son of Sam, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Felt the same way I do when watching another episode of Criminal Minds, only that the author paid quite a bit of attention attempting to present the occurrences through the lenses of different agents, and this I found refreshing and different from the episodes. Even more so since it felt like the reader could 'get under their skin', but I felt this perspective style of writing could have been pulled off better, as at times the language felt a tad unrealistic, in some way especially pertaining to the 'thoughts' which I found rather annoying. I liked very much how Garcia was described; it certainly matched words I would have chosen for her. Most importantly, fitting the tradition of a crime thriller, the plot was absorbing and well-crafted, a page turner.

When three shallow graves bearing the bodies of young girls are unearthed in the woods of Bemidji, Minnesota, the Behavorial Analysis Unit helps the local police identify the bodies and discovers that the perpetrators have been involved in a cycle of kidnapping and murder for close to twenty years. Original. (A CBS television series, starring Thomas Gibson, Shemar Moore, A. J. Cook, Matthew Gray Gubler, Kirsten Vangsness, Paget Brewster, and Joe Mantegna) (Suspense)
