Thanks to Netgalley for the Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review; all opinions expressed in this review are my own.

“You Can Hide” is the second installment of the Laurel Snow series by Rebecca Zanetti and soon after I finished reading it, I regretted that I went into this book without reading the first book “You Can Run.” Zanetti has authored quite an impressive number of books, most of which are quite famous, and I can see why. 

This series revolves primarily on Laurel Snow, a profiler for the FBI, her newly found half-sister Abigail and Capt. Huck Rivers. Laurel had discovered that she has a half-sister through her father, whom she hasn’t known for a very long time. Now her narcissist and sociopathic half-sister wants to be a part of her life and Laurel suspects she has been pursuing extreme measures to do it.

When she is brought in to investigate a murder and begins to suspect that it has the markings of a budding serial killer, she races to find the culprit before her sister becomes his victim as well. Thus begins her search for an elusive killer, someone who proves very difficult to catch, since he is as unremarkable as his murders are.

Zanetti has woven an intricate story of tangled webs that will leave you guessing the killer’s identity almost till the end of the story. Of the many psychological thrillers that flood the market these days, it’s difficult for any book of this genre to stand out. But Zanetti manages to do that with her extremely detailed and on-point characterization of principal characters, who are so unique and well-defined. Laurel Snow is as likable and adorable as she is strange and weird. Her dynamics with the people she comes across, creates quite a few amusing and interesting moments.

The story moves swiftly along with the investigation into the murders, that has the benefit of wonderful chemistry between Laurel and Huck. Laurel’s ability to profile the perpetrator using the details found in the crime makes for an intriguing experience, similar to an episode of “Criminal Minds.” Seeing that I am a big fan of the show, it’s no wonder I fell in love with both Laurel Snow and Rebecca Zanetti.

Check this book out if you love to read books that contain details and events reminiscent of an episode of “Criminal Minds.” I can’t recommend this book enough.

This book gets 5 out of 5 stars.
