This series has absolutely had me in a Chokehold! Every single one is amazing. This one was particularly good as you never knew what was going on!
I really didn’t know where this one was going. It was also difficult to read some of the stuff characters were going through

klunky. laughably klunky. sample - "As a doctor, she knew that Tessa was merely a victim of her hormones". I gave up on page 5, having had the message rammed home "ONE SISTER IS A WHINY DITZ, THE OTHER IS A DOCTOR!"
please avoid.

The book starts off with a bang when Tess, Sara Linton's sister, is attacked in the woods with dire consequences. It continues with Jeffery and Sara going from crime scene to crime scene trying desperately to make sense of why Tess was attacked and how the crimes are linked. Lena, the dismissed detective, continues a horrible slide downhill after the cruelties of the last book.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It's the best of the series so far. I do wish the author would stop with the silliness of Jeffery and Sara's relationship and deepen it in some other way. The ending of Book #2 left Lena in such a state and I was rooting for her to dig down and recover in this book. She certainly took a path that I wasn't expecting and was disappointed with. But I am still rooting for her and cannot wait to read the next book in this series. It will also be interesting to see how Sara's family is going to recover after Tess was injured.
I loved the twist ending. Well, not the person, but that there was that type of ending. There was a resolution to the main case but not for a lot of the characters involved. On to reading the next in the series: [b:Indelible|182012|Indelible (Grant County, #4)|Karin Slaughter|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1299703450l/182012._SY75_.jpg|2392798]

Again pretty graphic with the violence but I enjoy that these books don’t shield you from the realities of crime.
Nice plot and I enjoy that the time moves the story on for the main characters and refers back to the other books.
The ending was intense I literally said fuck off

Pediatrician physician and Medical Examiner Dr. Sara Linton and her eighth-month pregnant sister Tessa were having a wonderful ice cream break at Dairy Queen in Grant County, Georgia, when the call from police chief Jeffrey Tolliver interrupted their fun. Andy Rosen's body was discovered lying under the bridge near the college, Grant Tech.
Did he jump or was he pushed? The police ask Ellen Schaffer, student at the college who saw the body while jogging and reported it, if she saw anyone or anything else, but she hadn't.
Tessa promises to remain in the car while Sara and Jeffrey and his men examine the body and the surrounding river bed and woods. However, shortly after Sara begins checking Andy's body, Tessa leaves the car and walks up the closest hill - she desperately needs to empty her bladder. Sara does not want her sister to see Andy - the body is a crumpled mess.
When Chuck Gaines, the slimy head of security at Grant Tech, shows up with his new employee Lena Adams who recently quit working for Jeffrey, the scene becomes even more painful, as Chuck makes racist jokes and obscene attempts to be funny and Lena scowls. But Jeffrey notices Lena goes pale when she finds out who the dead young man was - did she know Andy?
After her brief examination, Sara realizes Tessa never returned! Alarmed, she also climbs the hill, following vague signs of Tessa's passage. Becoming more and more panicked, Sara tells herself she is being silly - until she finds Tessa's shoe, and then blood...
"A Faint, Cold Fear', book three in the Grant County series, is an intricate dance of damaged characters and plot twists. I enjoyed this fast-paced read, but I think it is better to begin with book 1, [bc:Blindsighted|21718|Blindsighted (Grant County, #1)|Karin Slaughter|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390283925s/21718.jpg|2590340] instead of with this novel. There are several ongoing character dramas which continue from book to book. Plus WARNING: extremely graphic.
The character of Lena Adams is a living image of some untreated abuse victims. I have seen people like her, and maybe gentle reader, you have also. Repeat after me - we only have responsibility where we have power.
