A review by i_hype_romance
The Third to Die, by Allison Brennan

4.0

The publisher and Netgalley provided me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.

Kara is off-duty, taking an essential, if mandatory, vacation away from the stress of her job as an undercover detective. Her vacation is interrupted by the discovery of a corpse during her morning run, Soon, Kate becomes embroiled in an insidious game of cat and mouse.

Kate and a team of FBI agents must struggle to stay one step ahead of a vicious killer. Identifying the pattern of the killings, and predicting when the next strike will occur is a harrowing race against time. The plot twists were unpredictable and I was gripping the edge of my seat the last 30% of the novel.

This is the first in a series, and is a gritty, procedural crime story that fans of Patricia Cornwell and Karin Slaughter will enjoy.
