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. 

Thank you, NetGalley & Kensington Books, for giving me this e-ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
