IF I SHOULD DIE continues the Lucy Kincaid series with
non-stop action, spine-tingling suspense, and plenty of
relationship drama.
Lucy Kincaid and boyfriend Sean Rogan are on vacation as she
waits to start FBI training. Sean sees it as an opportunity
for some much-need alone time and a chance to break through
some of Lucy's emotional armor. He loves her and she loves
him (or at least he thinks she does since she won't actually
say it). Not surprisingly given their penchant for
adventure and trouble, Lucy and Sean have agreed to use some
of their vacation time to help a friend whose attempts to
open a resort in the Adirondacks are being sabotage. Lucy
and Sean are determined to find the source of the sabotage
and help their friends open their resort outside of Spruce
Lake on time. What they stumble across is life-threatening
danger and a criminal conspiracy dating back generations.
Can they separate the good guys from the bad guys before
someone pays the ultimate price?
I think this is a wonderful addition to a great series.
Brennan is a master at creating such frighteningly amoral
bad guys you want to cheer when justice is finally served.
In IF I SHOULD DIE, there is an added complement of people
doing what they can to survive in a bad situation. The moral
ambiguity added its own sense of drama and tension. As a big
fan of romance, I thoroughly enjoy the traditional story arc
of boy-meets-girl. Sean and Lucy are past that stage (see
Love Me to Death) but I would still classify this
book as having a strong romantic element. I was caught up in
Sean and Lucy's attempts to deepen and grow their
relationship. I look forward to more of their personal and
professional adventures.
Aspiring FBI agent Lucy Kincaid and her P.I. boyfriend, Sean
Rogan, are heading to the Adirondack Mountains for a
pleasant romantic getaway when they detour to help troubled
friends, owners of a new resort who are battling malicious
vandals. After Lucy and Sean pursue an arsonist into an
abandoned mine shaft, Lucy stumbles upon an even more
heinous crime—and the perfectly preserved remains of its victim.
The only thing more disturbing than the discovery of the
corpse is its sudden disappearance. While the local police
remain skeptical, Lucy is dead certain that there’s a
connection between the sabotage at the resort and the
murder—one that the less-than-neighborly citizens of Spruce
Lake seem to have a stake in keeping hidden. Then, when a
cold-blooded sniper targets Sean and Lucy, FBI agent Noah
Armstrong enters the fray to ensure that more bodies don’t
hit the ground. Now three outsiders race to untangle a
violent conspiracy before they end up like the rest of
Spruce Lake’s secrets: dead and buried.
