Romantic Thriller published by Zebra Books 25 Jul 23
Get ready for an emotional roller coaster ride. Laurel Snow is back in the Pacific Northwest chasing serial killers. This time murder hits close to home, when the victim is her office manager’s estranged husband, and the body was found by his daughter. Where murder and Laurel are, her half-sister Abigail is close behind, and this time she’s dating one of Laurel’s rivals in the FBI.
Laurel should rightfully have excused herself from this case, since it comes pretty close to home, particularly when her biological father shows up on the scene and promptly becomes a victim. Ably assisted by her boyfriend, Huck Rivers, and his dog, Laurel just needs to prove that this latest serial killing spree is master minded by her sociopathic sister as a way of grabbing and holding on to Laurel’s attention.
Proving her theories is not going to be easy, and it seems beyond the scope of this book, but, nevertheless, Laurel has a killer to bring to justice and murders to solve while trying to figure out a relationship with the estimable Captain Huck Rivers. Supported by a brilliant cast of characters introduced in the previous books in the series, the author keeps readers guessing and working the clues to solve the case.
An excellent book that will keep you at the edge of your seat as you go through the gamut on the emotional range.
Grade: A
Summary:
Men are dying in the Pacific Northwest, their bodies found near churches, charities, and counselling centers—each with valentine candy hearts shoved down their throats. They’re good men with families and community ties—or so they seem until Laurel Snow and her team begin to investigate. Then the case takes a shockingly personal turn when the father she’s never met, a former pastor, is attacked in exactly the same way.
Now, besides solving the case, Laurel is on the hunt to discover where her father has been. Complicating things is Laurel’s troubled half-sister, Abigail, a brilliant sociopath determined to prove that they’ve both inherited their father’s malignant narcissism.
Assisting Laurel is Washington Fish and Wildlife Captain Huck Rivers, a dangerous loner whose reliance on gut instinct puts him at odds with Laurel’s coolly analytic approach. But the choice may be moot when the killer hones in on Huck’s own dark secrets—putting him and Laurel squarely in the crosshairs.
