Book Review — Death Follows Her

22 Sep

Death Follows Her is the latest suspense/thriller by Rachel Dylan. It’s been several years since I have read a new book by Dylan, and this one was well worth the wait. Fast-paced and action-packed from the start, this novel will keep you on your reading toes!

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.

Rachel Dylan is an award-winning and bestselling author of legal thrillers and romantic suspense. Rachel has practiced law for almost two decades, including as a litigator at one of the nation’s top law firms. Rachel lives in Michigan with her husband and three furkids—one loveable Labrador and two senior cats. Rachel loves to connect with readers.

My Impressions:

Rachel Dylan is back with a fast-paced suspense/thriller filled with twists you won’t see coming! Death Follows Her focuses on a high-powered attorney who represents top CEOs and their companies from product liability cases. Think pharmaceutical companies with drugs that cause severe side effects and death and manufacturers who create biological and environmental damages. These are high stakes cases. And Quinn Kelly rarely loses. And now her clients are dying. Samira Haddad of the FBI is called into to investigate. The two women have several things in common and develop a partnership of sorts. Just when you think that the case is resolved, Dylan throws in another twist to keep everybody, including the reader, off balance. The novel is taut and tense — it is definitely plot-driven — but allows a good glimpse into what has made the MCs who they are.

If you like suspense that keeps you guessing, then check out Death Follows Her. I look forward to book 2, Secrets Chase Her, which releases in May 2026.

Recommended.

Audience: Adults.
