I'd say I'd commit murder for a whole series of this, but it seems like a bad idea given the concept. Nevertheless, I want more Lewis & Bell NOW.
I picked this up on a recommendation from a friend and I'm so glad I did. As someone who grew up on SVU, NCIS, and Criminal Minds, it's the kind of book I would have inhaled as a teenager -- and also apparently as an adult.
Set in the 1980s, the FBI has an idea that teen serial killers may open up better to other teenagers as opposed to adult agents. So, they call in two people they think have the best chance of relating to a teen killer they're interested in: Travis Bell, a US Marshall candidate whose father was killed in the line of duty by a serial killer, and Emma Lewis, the "final girl" of another serial killer.
Emma and Travis use this experience to process their own traumas, something I think is done really well. Emma, in particular, is coming to terms with what happened to her, and Travis is a wonderful example of how to support someone going through that.
This book is twisty-turny and so compelling, and I would love more in this universe to see how the characters all continue to grow. It'd be a super fun fall read, and it's perfect for people interested in true crime, or fans of Criminal Minds, Mindhunter, and Silence of the Lambs.
