Nate Marcel is a neighbor and former F.B.I. agent who is drawn to Ellie and hopes to get her to go out with him. Then her tires are slashed and he knows enough to know it was not a teen prank. Soon he and Ellie are being led down a dangerous path that has them only trusting each other. Someone is out to punish people in this town and they have to find out who and it would really help to know why.
YOU WILL SUFFER is a brilliantly executed murder mystery. The characters are well fleshed out to the point that there is at least something about everyone that readers will recognize in their own lives. And that in itself is rather scary. Ellie and Nate are not quite polar opposites, but you can sense the intrigue they both feel, though Ellie tries hard to put up a wall, while Nate patiently pulls it back down. After the tire slashing, he is not about to let her out of his sight and after a while, she becomes honest with herself and we have the start of a sweet yet very steamy romance.
The twist and turns in this book have twists and turns. Just when you figure you know what's going on, author Alexandra Ivy sends you somewhere else. As a mystery reader I love to try to solve the case before the big reveal, but in this case, I was totally down the wrong road.
YOU WILL SUFFER is a well written, very twisted (and with this I also mean in the minds of the original "bad guys") story with amazing characters that you will either love, dislike or downright hate. This is the third of Ms. Ivy's "The Agency" series and I hope she plans for many more.
Book Summary
EVERY SMALL TOWN HAS A SECRET The rolling fields outside Curry, Oklahoma, are a beautiful spot to ramble on an early spring day . . . and a lonely place to die. Among the prairie grass and wildflowers, a killer kneels beside a curled-up figure, plunging a syringe beneath skin to deliver the fatal dose. And as the victim’s last breath mingles with the air, it sends a warning out to the world: This is just the beginning.
AND THIS ONE Rejecting her judge father’s prestigious connections, Ellie Guthrie opened her own law firm in Curry. But something strange is going on. Ellie’s tires are slashed. Dead rats are dumped on her patio. Her neighbor, former FBI agent Nate Marcel, insists on watching out for her. And then bodies begin turning up—supposed overdoses that Nate suspects are something much more sinister.
IS WORTH KILLING FOR There’s a killer in town, toying with her, drawing both Ellie and Nate into a web of murder and vengeance. To find answers, she’ll have to unearth this small community’s dark and twisted past . . . before it’s her turn to die.
