Fear Itself (E.L. Pender #2) 
Is it possible to be scared to death? FBI Special Agent E. L. Pender thinks so -- when a man afraid of heights falls nineteen stories to his death and a woman terrified of blood is found with her wrists slashed. Could it be that the apparent suicides are actually the work of a twisted psychopath?
To stop him, Pender joins forces with Investigative Specialist Linda Abruzzi, and before long they find themselves facing their own worst terrors -- and a madman who is as immune to fear as he is fascinated by it.
I've had my eye on Fear Itself for a long time, however I wasn't sure if I would like it enough to buy it full price. Luckily enough I found a copy second hand but of course it sat on my TBR pile for ages still. Well, I read it at last, and I genuinely really enjoyed it. I'd probably give it a high 4 stars however as it's an older book there is some language in it that made me uncomfortable. This book is exactly why I want to read more books outside of the young adult genre, the deaths were
This wasn't one of my favorites by this author. In the beginning, I enjoyed the mystery right up until the FBI figured out who the murderer was. Then the chase was on but the story dragged and was rather boring. I liked FBI agent Linda Abruzzi but wasn't all that enamored of E.L. Pender (the semi-retired agent). The murderer was a total freak but he really loved his Down Syndrome sister which was sweet but surprising in such a grisly murderer.

I really love his books, but they seem very hard to find....
Not quite as good as 'The Girls He Adored', but definitely another page turner of a book. What I love most about Jonathan Nasaw's books are you always get a "I wasn't expecting that to happen so soon in the book"...and then you just have to read on to find out 'what happens next'......
I have acrophobia, the fear of heights, and I'm glad I never met Simon Childs. I give Fear Itself by Jonathan Nasaw a 3. He gives us a unique plot and I like his writing style and main characters but novel seemed to be hard to finish. Enjoy!
I am so glad to be done with this. It was so boring. I do love the idea of it because it's clever and I haven't heard of someone else doing it before. I didn't really like the first book of the series but I read this one anyway because I owned it for a long time. I will not be continuing on in the series.

After The Girls He Adored, it was a little bit of a let down, but it is hard to follow a great book. I believe that if I had read it before I would have liked the book more. My expectations were great. Having said all of that, the book was hard to put down and a fast read. Looking forward to more from Nasaw.I've had my eye on Fear Itself for a long time, however I wasn't sure if I would like it enough to buy it full price.
