Have you tried the first Scarpetta Novels by Patricia Cornwell?

Jeff Lindsay's 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter' is the first in a series of excellently written novels about a serial killer, written from his (Dexter's) perspective.

Thank you for the suggestions, I will definitely look them up. I didnt realise that the tv series of Dexter originally came from a book. I Love Dexter!

 

New request: Does anyone know any books like 'When Jeff Comes Home By Catherine Atkins'? For example, a story about someone coming home after being kidnapped and having to deal with reliving their trauma.

Thanks

If you don't mind a bit (but not vast amounts) of supernatural elements with your serial killers, Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series is really interesting in terms of criminal psychology.
