Oct. 19th, 2008 01:16 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
A walk in the woods takes a sinister turn for police chief Jeffrey Tolliver and medical examiner Sara Linton when they stumble across the body of a young girl. Incarcerated in the ground, all the initial evidence indicates that she has, quite literally, been scared to death.
But as Sara embarks on the autopsy, something even more horrifying comes to light. Something which shocks even her. Detective Lena Adams, talented but increasingly troubled, is called in from vacation to help with the investigation - and the trail soon leads to the neighbouring county, an isolated community, and a terrible secret ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Really disappointing. The female characters are reduced to cliches, the murderer is an obvious get and the whole book just really irritated me. It's a shame, because I thought this series began really strongly, but since then the female characters are reduced to being defined by their reliance on men and I find it really objectionable.
