Product Description
An apparent student suicide has brought medical examiner Sara Linton to the local college campus, along with her ex-spouse, 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 tiny 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 ex- police detective driven from the force by the hellish memories that will never place her. Lena Adams survived the unthinkable and has paid a devastating fee. Now the survival of future victims may depend upon her … when she can barely protect herself.

a troubling tale in which the leader supplies a cast of characters who ALL seem to have sexual-physical-mental abuse in their backgrounds, which affects their jobs and their personal relationships a small too much; it’s very hard to empathize with a cast composed of really wacko characters and leads one to question the authors background; does she really see the world as she presents it? or is she just trying too hard to shock for better book sales? such as the “kicker” ending in which Lena is revealed as having killed her boss after she had already disabled him and defended herself from his attempted physical abuse

Contrived situations, absurd and extremely unlikeable characters — there wasn’t much I cared for about this book. The murders were strut on so quick it became numbing, the gore was so extreme it had the opposite effect of adding realism. If you want a tiny-town view of a huge, terrible crime, this might be the book for you, but it’s not very excellent. It got to be a small too “sticks and hicks” for me.

After reading Kisscut, I thought that I’d establish a new leader to add to my list of frequent reads. In Kisscut, I was able to overlook the unlikeability of Slaughter’s characters because the rest of the book was pretty appealing. In A Faint Cold Dread, though, the despicable, unrealistic, miserable characters completely overwhelm the alleged plot of the book. It’s not merely that Slaughter’s characters are “unsympathetic” or “unlikeable” as additional reviewers have commented, it’s that they behave completely irrationally and in ways that I can only hope no real person would.
Although I NEVER give up on a book before finishing it, I place this one down half way through, and I will not buy Slaughter again.

I read all the reviews and not one mentioned a very glaring error. The terms “gauge,” “skeet,” “caliber,” and “rummage though” are not synonymous. Yet, Karin Slaughter uses them together, switches back and into the world between them to a confusing degree. I don’t pretend to be an practiced in firearms, but I do know that sportsmen shoot skeet with a shotgun, not a rummage though. And the ammunition for a shotgun is measured by gauge, not caliber. A rummage though is an entirely different weapon using ammo measured in calibers. And her coroner and a police chief don’t know the difference? Come on now. I’m closing the book forever on page 143 and deliver me from careless authors.

If you like unpleasant characters (I don’t) and don’t mind hating your protagonist or wanting to slap her silly (I do mind) and if over-the-top gore is your style, by all means buy this book. As a bonus, you’ll get a completely fake relationship between a right literary cliche these days, the ultra-talented woman, and her ex-spouse.
“Fake” is the word I would use to clarify this book. It has fake people. Fake relationships. Fake environments. Most of all, it has a fake crime and fake criminal investigation. Maybe I was just in a terrible mood the weekend I read the book. But it read like the literary equivalent of a terrible made-for-television movie on one of the lesser networks. I am sick of writers who use all these weird touches like nailing people to floors and endings with twist after twist, when in real life these things rarely take place. I want to read a writer who can look at ordinary crimes in a new way and help me know the minds of the people who commit them. Small about this book rang right. Others may find it more entertaining or satisfying.
