Review: Too predictable
Rating: 2 out of 5

I loved the premise for this book, killing people with what they are most afraid of.  But I figured out who the murderer was 40% into the book.  And the attempts to make the other 2 characters look guilty were like a red flag saying "this guy didn't do it because it's too obvious", which then makes you focus on the least likely person, and what do you know?  He's the one. And the way the murderer was finally stopped was predictable as well.  Also, I had no sympathy or empathy for the main character.  His angst and misery got old after the first couple of chapters, plus, was I the only one that found him kind of weird with his smelling fear nonsense?  It wouldn't have surprised me to find out HE was the murderer.
