THE STUNNING NEW THRILLER FROM INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER KARIN SLAUGHTER Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, is called out to an apparent suicide on the local college campus. The mutilated body provides little in the way of clues - and the college authorities are keen to avoid a scandal - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Two more suspicious suicides follow, and a young woman is brutally attacked. For Sara, the violence strikes far too close to home. And as Jeffrey pursues the sadistic killer, he discovers that ex-police detective Lena Adams, now a security guard on campus, may be in possession of crucial information. But, bruised and angered by her expulsion from the force, Lena seems to be barely capable of protecting herself, let alone saving the next victim...
Ok, so book 3 is finished and I need to obtain copies of books 4 & 5. Right now that’s going to have to wait, as I’m out of $$ and out of credits at Paperback Swap. :( In any case, “A Faint Cold Fear” is just as much of a thrill ride as the first two books in the series.
Start out with an apparent suicide, which bring tragedy to Sara Linton and her family when her sister is attacked near the scene of the crime. Then another apparent suicide turns up, causing Jeffrey and Sara to question whether there is a murderer on the loose. Add to this former detective Lena Adams, who is now a security guard at the college and yet another murder - this time on the college staff. Plus, it appears that Lena’s getting involved with someone and that the someone in question might not be the best person for her.
I couldn’t bear to put this book down and I can’t wait to get a copy of the next book, Indelible.
Another 5 star book - and number 3 in the RIP III Challenge.
