Publisher Description
Luther meets Justified combined with Profiler in New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti's exciting Laurel Snow Romantic Thriller series, set in the Pacific Northwest, featuring FBI Special Agent and rising star profiler Laurel Snow. For readers who love their thrillers centered around dysfunctional families, and their protagonists threatened by a serial killer.
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.

Suspenseful, Immersive & Well Written
You Can Die is the third book of the Laurel Snow series, and I feel I made a mistake of not reading books one and two (it is on my TBR). It qualifies as a stand-alone, as Zanetti gives you enough breadcrumbs to connect the dots. One of the biggest wins for this book is how concise and clean the writing is. Rebecca Zanetti and her team have done a fantastic job of four murder cases with a common link. As a character, Laurel Snow is intriguing, brave and committed to her job as an FBI agent and being with Huck Rivers. The moments of vulnerability and romance between the key protagonists are passionate and well-written. The cat-and-mouse game between Laurel and Abigail (her step-sister) hooked me. In terms of the element of whodunit? I could connect the dots almost at the halfway mark. But how the puzzle pieces came together kept me on the edge of my seat. The ending was endearing, and I can't wait for the next book. Till then, I'm backtracking to books one and two. If you wish to understand the characters comprehensively, I strongly suggest following the order of the series.
