I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Another heart-pounding, adrenaline-laced romantic suspense from Virginia Vaughan! The story moves fast and all the surprises in the plot will have you guessing at the identity of the villain until the very end. The characters Lucy and Bryce are real, down-to-earth, and so broken in different ways. Yet they find comfort and love in each other even as they dodge bullets, bombs, and car crashes as the killer inches closer to the goal of getting rid of Lucy. Lucy’s work as an FBI profiler is interesting and it made her a different type of victim/heroine in the story. Bryce is a kind-hearted protector whose faith guides his steps even though his past weighs him down. His daughter Meghan is a cute and precocious teen who adds more dimension to the story and to Bryce and Lucy’s relationship.
If you enjoy romantic suspense, you will definitely enjoy this book. I received a copy of the book from the author and was under no obligation to post a positive review. All comments and opinions are solely my own.

An organized serial killer known as the “Backwoods Killer” is terrorizing the town and Bryce Tippett’s brother, Clint is suspected to be the killer. Bryce has asked Lucy Sanderson, an FBI agent to profile the killer to prove his brother’s innocence.
But as soon as Lucy arrives in town, she is in the killers sights. As Lucy investigates and Bryce tries to keep Lucy safe, the killing continues. Even though this was the fourth book in the Covert Operations Series, it is an excellent stand alone book.
I received an arc of this book from the author and the review and comments are my honest opinion.
I am reviewing this book for the author and this is my honest opinion.
FANTASTIC! I figured out who the serial killer was but I had to finish the book to see what was going to happen to Clint. Lucy, Bryce and Meghan fell into a family dynamic really fast and it was a bit off-putting for me but turned out okay. It was a inspirational But it wasn’t over the top like other inspirational I have read. I am sad it’s the end of the series but it was a really good ending.
‘She knew her fears were irrational, but that didn’t stop them from being real for her.’
Virginia Vaughan brings us book four in her Covert Operatives book and it’s the best yet! FBI agent Lucy Sanderson is asked to profile the Back Roads Killer by Bruce Tippett to prove his brother innocent. Then someone begins stalking Lucy as she is getting her profile ready. Bruce, a single dad, has taken on the job of protecting Lucy, while trying to help her with her profile. Clues lead places neither one suspected and it’s become a full time job trying to keep from being killed as Lucy gets closer and closer to the culprit.
This book starts off with a bang and continues all the way through. This one is a suspense filled ride right into a heinous crime spree of a serial killer. I just couldn’t stop reading! Vaughan’s best yet! I thought I had figured out the culprit, then I didn’t, then I did, etc. This one will keep you guessing while at the same time holding you hostage to the suspense. Highly recommended.
*My thanks to the author for a preview copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Virginia Vaughan did a fabulous job of keeping the suspense high and raising the stakes at every turn. This novel packs a punch when FBI Agent Lucy Sanderson, a profiler, arrives in town in search of the Backroads Killer. The role takes an unexpected turn when the murderer snatches her while she’s out jogging, and throws her into his trunk.
She barely escapes with her life, but the killer doesn’t give up. Bryce Tippet, an old Marine friend of Danny’s, her deceased fiancé, and a single dad, finds Lucy standing in the road, battered and bruised. He rescues her from her abductor, but not before the man shoots at them.
The heart-thumping action in this novel hooks the reader and makes it difficult to put the book down. Virginia established her characters in a way that draws readers into their world and allows them to connect with Lucy and Bryce and the life-threatening situation they face.
This was another great read by Virginia Vaughn. It literally brought me into the book in the first three pages and held me until the end. An FBI agent is in town to help find evidence in a serial killing. She is attacked her first night in town while on a run
She teams up with Bryce, whose brother is the main suspect, to try and find the serial killer. Nonstop action and unpredictable situations make this a 5star book!
I loved this book, it was a real page turner and I had a hard time putting it down.
It was a very suspenseful read, christian and clean-perfect!
What happens when an FBI profiler doubts her abilities? Killer Insight gives readers plenty to think about—all amid the hunt for a serial killer.
Virginia Vaughan combines action (including gunfire, abductions, bombs, and more) with moments of honesty and introspection into Lucy and Bryce. Bryce’s daughter adds another dimension to this story too.
The twists and turns in the plot had me guessing at the villain then doubting I had it right only to guess at the person behind the crimes again. This was one story I couldn’t put down until all was revealed. The fast-paced plot helps it speed by.

The story starts fast; there’s no gentle, easing into it. My attention was captured and held throughout the book. I read the book in one evening. I loved the main characters, Lucy and Bryce. They are good-hearted and likable. They both have an issue or two to work through. Bryce’s daughter Meghan is a wonderful addition to the tension and to the romance, as well as adding a little humor. The plot twists and turns and is full of action. There’s a great HEA in the epilogue. I recommend this book to readers of clean/wholesome romantic suspense and to Christian romantic suspense readers. I received a complimentary copy. I chose to write a review and share my opinion of this well-written romantic suspense.
This book was filled with suspense from the beginning! Lucy was out for a run when she was assaulted by the very serial killer she was there to profile and help catch. Too many young women had already lost their lives in this small community to this murderer.
I had figured out who the killer was by the time I was halfway done with the book. However, there was a little bit of a twist at the end that I was glad for because it made it feel like there was still something for me to be surprised by.
One thing that bothered me was how much Lucy kept blaming herself for what her deceased fiance had done. She thought she didn’t deserve good things because of something she had nothing to do with.

I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Amazing, thrilling, and so much more!
Killer Insight is the 4th and last book in the Covert Operatives Series and I think Virginia saved the best for last! I read this book from beginning to end in a day, it was that good!
FBI profiler Lucy is in town to profile a serial killer and finds herself a victim. I thought I had figured out the killer but I was wrong! This book is a must read!
Lucy is doubting her abilities because of something that happened in her past. She has to learn to put her trust fully in God before she can really trust in her abilities. Thankfully she has Bryce who trusts in her and more importantly in God.
Once you start this book you are not gonna want to put it down!
Fantastic job Virginia! Thank you for writing this book.

Powerful intrigue from start to finish! With the fourth book in her Covert Operatives series, Virginia Vaughan continues to delight with KILLER INSIGHT.
Lucy Sanderson has our allegiance from the first page when by simply arriving in town she suddenly becomes the next victim of the guy she’s there to profile! She is a FBI profiler on leave and doing a favor for a friend of her late fiancee when she walks smack dab in the middle of the case.
Bryce Tippitt is an easy character to like. He’s an attentive and caring single father intent on helping clear his brother’s name in the serial killer case he’s being accused in.
I highly recommend this story to anyone enjoying an inspirational romance filled with nail biting intrigue and lots of heart. The characters were well developed, the plot was thick and the story flowed easily. Really enjoying this entire series!
