You Can Die / Rebecca Zanetti

 

3.25 out of 5 stars

The third book featuring Laurel Snow, the neurodivergent FBI agent, wraps things up nicely. Well, not everything, as Laurel's narcissistic biological father and half sister are both still at large and far too interested in our intrepid Special Agent.

Laurel has managed to get an official branch office in Genesis Valley, which means that she has moved home. As is usual in mystery literature, this small community seems to be a vortex for violent murder. Laurel finds herself assembling a team and is even able to count them as friends. It's an unusual feeling for her and she is studying their emotions as she tries to get better at reading people. Her love interest Huck Rivers, has figured out that he has to speak literally to her and spell things out, so their relationship seems to be working.

On one hand, by book's end, the biggest issues have been resolved. The murderer has been apprehended and all of the team are safe and sound. Laurel and Huck are solid. But I am wondering if there will be more books in the series. Abigail is still fixated on her half-sister and Zeke has slipped out of the hospital, leaving a vaguely threatening note. Those two aspects lead me to believe that there is more to come. If there is, I hope my library orders it!
