A Faint Cold Fear
by Karin Slaughter
I really enjoyed the first book in the series. The second book was well-written with compelling characters, but the very dark subject matter—while it kept me engaged—was not something I “enjoyed” reading. This book was off-putting for different reasons.
Firstly, the number of grisly murders that take place in this small, backwater town is starting to stretch the bounds of credibility for me. If it was set in a bustling metropolitan area, it would be totally believable.
Secondly, Lena is problematic for me on two levels. Although l am appalled by the brutal attack she survived in the first book and felt quite sympathetic towards her in the first two books, she is such a snarky b_tch with a chip on her shoulder large enough to crush an elephant that I really found myself intensely disliking her. And her involvement with Ethan just boggled my mind. I really don’t get that, or her. It made this a lesser book for me than the first two.
