Thanks to netgalley for the review copy of another thrilling read by a talented author!
I was hooked from the start of a new series that will thrill readers of Ms Brennan for ages to come. Highly recommended!

Introducing two interesting characters whose relationship sizzles from their first encounter. Both characters have experienced dark times in their lives and are not looking for more than a passing sexual relationship- which is good since a serial killer who has killed for years is what has brought them together.

Also introduced as part of a new FBI team are multiple characters with their own unique backgrounds and talents.

Fast moving, gruesome killings, hot sex, stalkings, psychological profiling - it has it all!

This isn't the first time I've read anything by her in fact I've read two other books by her in her Maxine Revere series and after reading them I was hooked , loved how her books always seem to have strong female characters that no matter what is shaved at them ,their not afraid to stand up for what is right , and this story is one of those .Other thing I loved about it was how the author played with the number 3 and how it worked in the story , and how the killer used it, and how it kept you pulled into the story as well as keeping you guessing on why the killer was doing this .

That Ending!! It may not have been a cliffhanger but it definitely left me wanting more, now.... immediately. How soon can she write the next in this series!?!

Brennan is well known for her psychological thrillers so when I was offered an ARC for her newest book I jumped at the opportunity. The Third to Die is the first book in a new series by Brennan revolving around the FBI's Mobile Response Team. This newly formed segment of the FBI consists of highly specialized agents who are top in their field, whether it is forensics, crime scene specialists or investigators. They are mobilized primarily in rural areas where the local force most likely is lacking in either experience or equipment. This is their first case in the field and it is a nightmare. A serial killer has re-emerged after years of silence. His method is killing someone on March 3rd, 6th or 9th. This story is made more interesting by the addition of a SFPD officer who is on "vacation" in the area and ends up helping the FBI solve their case. This detective, Kara Quinn, is one of the most interesting characters I've run across in a thriller in a long while. The chemistry between her and FBI agent Matias Costa is electric - and fun! The story is engaging, interesting and, yes, thrilling! So much so that I'm reading past written books by Brennan and cannot wait for her next in this series - and this one is not out yet!! But it will be soon and should be bookmarked on your to-read list.

Wow, what a great start to a new series!! The Third to Die is a fast paced, well written mystery that begins with Detective Kara Quinn on vacation / leave from LAPD when she finds a body while jogging and ends up helping a newly formed FBI Mobile Response Team headed by Mathias Costa. This was the first title that I've read by Allison Brennan and I'm glad to see that there are so many other series that she's written!! Thank you NetGalley.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Harlequin-Mira and the author, Allison Brennan, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of The Third To Die in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I thought this book offered a really good read. I was hooked from the start.
The race is on to stop a killer before they strike again. What is the significance of the dates that have been chosen?
I was intrigued by the premise of the storyline and was not disappointed with book. The plot was well thought out and written with intriguing characters . I was certainly racing to turn the pages to find out whodunit.
Well worth a read for fans of the genre

Allison Brennan has written another page-turner! I have yet to read one of her books I did not like! The book is a race against the clock to catch a killer before there is another victim. The FBI is called in because the murderer has previously killed on March 3, 6 and 9 every three years. Working together with local police departments, they piece together a profile of the killer. He is very elusive and has no problem injuring and killing to get away. I couldn’t read it fast enough. Don’t miss this book!
