If you know me, you know I love my police procedurals and I’ve been craving a strong detective/police procedural lately. I’ve been looking for something to tie me over until the next Karin Slaughter book comes out, and I think I found a new author to watch for.

The first in a new series, Head Cases follows FBI Agent Gardner Camden and his team the Patterns and Recognition (PAR) Unit as they case a serial killer killing…serial killers. The first victim – one of Camden’s cases from years ago that the FBI thought had died. Can they catch the killer before the case become too personal?

Slow Horses meets Criminal Minds. Plenty of action and a good balance of characters. Camden has neurodivergent tendencies, and I felt that McMahon did a wonderful job of giving him growth but keeping him realistic. I primarily listened to the audiobook and Will Damron was an amazing narrator for Camden. I definitely loved the way this series started, and I can’t wait for the PAR #2. Going to have to dive into McMahon’s P.T. Marsh series next!
