Happy Friday! Summer is winding down, but the heat here in the sunny South is not. Inside endeavors are recommended to survive the scorching temperatures. Reading is number one, of course, and I am so looking forward to starting Death Follows Her, the latest legal thriller from Rachel Dylan.
Here are the first 2 lines:
“Shots fired. I repeat, shots fired.”
Three powerful CEOs. Three sudden deaths. One woman determined to uncover the truth.
When three high-profile CEOs die in quick succession, FBI Special Agent Samira Haddad is called in to investigate. What at first seems like tragic coincidence soon unravels into something far more deliberate—and deadly. All three victims were represented in major lawsuits by the same attorney: Quinn Kelly, a sharp, unrelenting trial lawyer with a flawless record and no shortage of enemies.
As Samira digs deeper, she’s drawn into a world of elite corporate power, courtroom battles, and closely guarded secrets. Quinn becomes both a key to the mystery—and a target herself. Cool under pressure and relentless in court, Quinn is used to winning—but this time, the stakes are life and death.
With pressure mounting from all sides, Samira must navigate competing agendas, shadowy threats, and the growing suspicion that the killer is far closer than anyone imagined.
For those who are content sensitive: this book contains non-graphic scenes and descriptions of sexual assault.

That is an awesome first line! I like books that jump right into the action.
