Furie by Chelsea Cain, Fred Kinzel
4.0

This was a re-read and I still love this book!

I love that there is a female serial killer, that the book starts where so many books end - after the rescue of the latest victim of the killer -, that we see how this all affected Archie (his PTSD, his addiction to Vicodin, his Stockholm Snydrom like thing that he has with Gretchen, his depression). I love the characters (Archie! Susan! Henry!), I love the case and how it twists and turns back to Gretchen.

One thing I don't like (which I don't think I realised when I read the book the first time) is that everybody is either so thin or so fat. As if there isn't a "normal" (however you define normal) sized person. It's always her thin arms wrapped around her thin legs or his fat arm touched her and so on and so on. Hmmmm.
