S. C. Sterling

Tom has spent almost two years searching for Megan, and finally decides to hire a private investigator to help with the search. Marshall is Tom's last hope in finding Megan. There are a lot of character perspectives, and the story is very slow. But the pace picks up when the investigation starts, and the book gets gritty and deep with dark reveals. The book is not a casual read.

This novel is a captivating and intense mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. The characters are complex and well-developed, with their own personal struggles and demons that add depth to the story.

The writing is vivid and descriptive, allowing you to easily visualize the cold, isolated setting of the mountain town of Fraser, Colorado. The story unfolds at a steady pace, revealing secrets and twists that keep you guessing until the very end. The attention to detail is impressive and the accuracy to the 90's theme adds to the authenticity of the story. The Fear of Winter is a raw and gritty crime novel that is sure to captivate any reader who enjoys a good mystery. The character development and attention to detail make it a memorable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a well-written and engaging story.
