About this eBook

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.

Ratings and reviews

August 31, 2024 LOVED this book! This is a well crafted novel that kept me on the edge of my seat and turning pages just as quickly as possible. This is complex mystery/thriller with lots of possible bad guys/gals that kept me guessing until the very end. I loved the characters and how they came to life on the page. They are engaging and interesting. I found myself invested in their story and wanting them to get a HEA ending. Fans of the genre will love this book. The author is on my must read

I absolutely LOVED this installment to the Laurel Snow series. In this third book in the series you just get more of everything. It felt like there was more action, more suspense and mystery, and more romance than in the previous books, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Everything about this story worked for me and I especially loved that I didn't at all guess the ending. I love when a mystery is able to take me by surprise. If you haven't read any of these, you are missing out!

A great 3rd chapter to the story of Laurel, Huck and yes, even Abigail. It has all the elements of an intriguing story: characters that have been evolving and growing throughout the series, a murder mysteries to solve and of course many plot twists and surprises. It is enjoyable to watch the ever-confident Laurel navigate the nuances of interacting with people and her budding romantic relationship with Huck. It definitely can be read as a standalone, but why would you, first two are great
