Quick Review – A Faint Cold Fear – Karin Slaughter
If I lived in Grant County, Georgia, I’d run for my life. The place featured in A Faint Cold Fear (among other books) is like death, incorporated. How many times can any one character face rape, and attempted murder? I think I could buy all this murder and mayhem, if perhaps, the protagonists lived in a big city – or even a big town. But all this unexpected horror in one small town stretches my ability to suspend my disbelief. And despite being with these characters (wait it’s Lena, Lena, more Lena, and Jeffery and Sarah’s endless narrative) for a couple of books – I still don’t particularly like them.
