Dead Scared by Sharon Bolton

3.0

A terrifying case!

'Dead Scared', book two in the series by Sharon Bolton, is another case DC Lacey Flint cannot let go of despite orders! She is supposed to be pretending to be an insecure student to draw out possible bad guys at Cambridge University, but to not investigate. Undercover cops watching her movements would follow up on any suspicious activities she stirs up by pretending to be mentally fragile. There have been dozens of female students who have seemingly committed suicide in a short period of time. Is somebody pushing these girls over the edge?

Flint is a damaged young woman who gets herself involved in hardcore cases because of her past. This book involves suicide, rape and stalking, so sensitive readers should avoid this series. That said, it is a fast-paced and entertaining mystery and a thriller!
