nancyflanagan 's review for:
A Faint Cold Fear
by Karin Slaughter
Because I've "read ahead" in the series and know a bit about major events to come, this feels like the first book where Slaughter shows us where she's heading with these characters and this series. Another very dark book, filled with despair and moments where characters seem headed off the the rails.
Great plotting (one of Karin Slaughter's strengths) and lots of surprises and shocking descriptions. The ending is stunning. But reading about these characters---especially Lena--just makes me weary. She's portrayed totally realistically. We don't expect things to just turn out OK--they can't. Still, 500 pages of human failings and idiotic mistakes is a lot to take. From now on, I'm reading these one at a time.
