Can't Keep It To Myself: Caged, by Ellison Cooper

Ellison Cooper's debut novel Caged is a series kickoff featuring FBI Senior Special Agent Sayer Altair, a neuroscientist who studies the brains of serial killers. When she's appointed team leader on a task force tracking a brutal new serial killer, however, it seems like she's met with resistance on every side. Her boss is more worried about image and funding, it seems, than catching the real killer. And when a local senator's missing daughter is identified as one of the killer's victims, Altair must contend with the senator's press conference obsession, which is filled with confidential information leaked directly from her team. So who is the leak, and why are they undermining the case?

This page-turner is tightly plotted, peppered with red herrings, and features a relatable heroine. Fans of authors like Karin Slaughter and Tana French should absolutely check this out. I could not put it down!
