'How many people have you seen in the last two weeks who have worn red shoes?' She tried to take a moment away from thinking about the murder. 'That's a game I play with the deputy director of the FBI.''Yeah, but it's a fun game.' Her stomach finally settled. ' In the last two weeks, I would say probably twenty-eight.' 'Probably?' Sometimes she liked to sound as if she was being thoughtful about something when the number just popped into her head. 'Okay. Most certainly twenty-eight.'
Because of her emotional challenges and her quirky nature, Laurel Snow should be a completely unlovable character, but she has most definitely become one of my favorite persons in fiction. Her attempts to appear 'normal' make her lovable to me.
As the FBI agent in charge of the Pacific Northwest Violent Crimes Unit, Laurel Snow has proven herself to be superior at catching serial killers. Unfortunately, her most recent capture, Jason Abbott, has escaped from prison and a new series of killings has begun. Coincidence? Most likely not. Because the first murder victim was discovered half on federal land and half on state, Laurel and her significant other, Washington Fish and Wildlife captain Huck Rivers will once agin work together to solve the most recent crime spree.
Many families consider themselves to be dysfunctional but Laurel's family dynamics make yours and mine look like your average, everyday, run of the mill family. Her father has most definitely lead a nefarious lifestyle. He hides behind his role as pastor of the community church, giving the appearance of a pillar of the Genesis Valley society. Unfortunately, Laurel has no evidence to prove his past crimes. Her sister, Abagail, is most certainly a sociopath or psychopath. With a higher intelligence than the average person, Abagail believes no one will uncover her evil deeds; she is always two steps ahead of local law enforcement. No doubt, eventually Laurel will find what she needs to put her father and sister away for their multitude of violations. I do not look forward to that day because I fear it will be the end of a series that I have grown so fond of and eagerly anticipate reading future installments.
Every single book in this series has captivated me and held me in it's thrall. 'You Can Kill' was no exception. The story is filled with a number of strong, capable, and intelligent women, both good and evil. Even knowing that Abigail is not a good person, her dysfunction and wicked ways are intriguing. I want her to be caught in the act and at the same time I am curious what she will come up with next. To see two minds of the same caliber, one for good and one for evil, pitted against one another has made for a suspenseful, dynamic, and powerful read. I have recommended this series a number of times to friends and family.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
'You Can Kill' releases October 22, 2024.
