A review by dwehrkamp
The Fear of Winter by S.C. Sterling
3.0
3.5 stars ARC received via LibraryThing
I enjoyed this read! It is a solid crime thriller with lots of action and dysfunctional characters.
The story follows 3 main characters:
Tom - a father searching for his missing daughter Megan while his marriage falls apart
Marshall - a private investigator with demons of his own
Hannah - Marshall's assistant who is haunted by the unsolved death of her sister
The three work to solve Megan's disappearance! The book kept me guessing and the author tricked me a few times with foil characters. I appreciated the fast pace of the book. I would continue the series and hope we learn what happened to Hannah's sister!
What kept the book from being a 5 star read for me was the depth of the characters. The author did a great job giving the main characters backstories, but I felt other important characters were lacking, such as Megan, Tom's wife, and Nathan. For example, Megan was kind of a mystery to the reader and it made it hard to connect with Tom's journey at times.
