Publisher Description
Gillian Flynn says, "Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today."
An apparent student suicide has brought medical examiner Sara Linton to the local college campus, along with her ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver. But a horribly mutilated corpse yields up few answers. And a suspicious rash of subsequent "suicides" suggests that a different kind of terror is stalking the youth of Heartsdale, Georgia—a nightmare that is coming to prey on Sara Linton's loved ones.
A small town is being transformed into a killing ground. And the key to a sadistic murderer's motive and identity may be held in the unsteady hands of a campus security guard—a former police detective driven from the force by the hellish memories that will never leave her. Lena Adams survived the unthinkable and has paid a devastating price. Now the survival of future victims may depend upon her ... when she can barely protect herself.
Customer Reviews
Superlatives abound!
This was a terrific work of crime fiction. I was far too engrossed in learning what came next to guess whodunnit (a weakness of mine). Full of lively characters who bump up against each other in unexpected ways, A Faint Cold Fear is first rate in the category of I-couldn’t-put-it-down. It’s pretty gruesome in parts, and this quiet little town possesses an extraordinary number of pathological villains. In short, Karin Slaughter delivers great storytelling every time. As an audio book, we must give credit where credit is due to Kathleen Early. She’s a wonderful voice talent, and it’s hard to read a Slaughter novel without hearing her voice in your head. She’s just great. All in all, from page to page, I thoroughly enjoy every single Slaughter novel.
