You Can Kill by Rebecca Zanetti

Laurel and Huck are facing a new challenge and a gruesome trail of murder.
SAIC Laurel Snow may be a child prodigy and the smartest person in the room but even she can't guarantee the safety of those around her when a serial killer escapes. Jason Abbot has a bee in his bonnet over accomplished women and Laurel is the one who put him away.
Huck has his own problems when one of the victims found has a close link to him. Then the others that follow also have a tenuous link to him - who is trying to set up Huck as the fall guy?
I love the way that Huck and Laurel just get each other. There is no miscommunication of drama with these two. They have adult conversations and talk through problems that crop up. They have a few hurdles to overcome however and they will need to make some big decisions soon. Laurel should be dry and emotionless but her overactive brain and logic actually make her quite empathetic.. She may need clarification on a couple of things but she isn't some emotionless robot. Huck is the perfect partner for her. Patient, protective but willing to stand beside her instead of in front of her when she needs to take charge.
Laurel's mum is the only true family she has. Abigail is still the most morally grey sibling ever and I'd certainly never want to have anything to do with her. The narcissism is strong with that one and she just loves to meddle. And Zeke - well that man just makes my skin crawl - he is such a sleaze!
There are lots of twists and turns and layers of subterfuge by all the suspects. I must say that the Podcaster really needs taken down a peg or two - she has major cojones that one!
I look forward to the next adventure.
