This addition to the story felt so much more scary and out of control than the events from the original Baypen Massacre. I spent a lot of the book wondering how the hell our main characters (Quinn, Rust, and Cole, along with a new character who lived through the original tragedy also, Jerry) where even going to get out of this.
As expected of Clown in a Cornfield this book was fast pace, fun, and didn’t beat around the bush with the outrageous violence and murder. Also, as to be expected, the overarching themes were extremely politically poignant.
My only complaint is, while I loved the way characters were built upon from the last novel…I found myself really frustrated at Cole a lot which made me less invested in him, but his actions weren’t things I’d consider to be out of character either.
The ending could be setting up a third installment of Clown in a Cornfield…or not. I enjoyed the ending either way
