You Can Kill

September 9, 2024
The body count rises in bestseller Zanetti’s heart-pounding fourth Laurel Snow romantic thriller (after You Can Die). FBI special agent Laurel Snow narrowly avoids serious injury when suspected serial killer Jason Abbott assaults her and escapes police custody. Law enforcement personnel, including Washington State Fish and Wildlife captain Huck Rivers, Laurel’s boyfriend and the father of her unborn child, search for Jason. But when blonde-haired women turn up murdered in a string of apparent serial killings in their rural Genesis Valley, Wash., community, law enforcement is unsure if Abbott is the killer or if someone else targeted the women. Huck himself becomes a suspect and is taken off the case because one of the deceased turns out to be his mother, who abandoned him as a baby and whom he never met. Laurel’s continued search for the killer is complicated by the forestalling of potential suspects, including Laurel’s estranged father, a local pastor who raped her mother, and Laurel’s half sister, Abigail Caine, a sociopath who Laurel believes might have helped Jason escape. Zanetti keeps the twists coming as the danger to Laurel intensifies. Series fans will be thrilled to check in with the loving central couple while newcomers are sure to be sucked into the balanced mix of romance and suspense. Agent: Caitlin Blasdell, Liza Dawson Assoc.
