Dead Scared/S.J. Bolton/378 pgs.

Suicides are taking place at Cambridge University. In her second outing (following Now You See Me), DC Lacey Flint is asked to go undercover as a coed at the University to try and discover what's going on. As the plot progresses, Lacey realizes she is being used as bait--an investigation into the suicides has been going on for months. Her immediate supervisor is DI Mark Joesbury, with whom she has a complicated relationship, and is also a main character in Now You See Me. This is a gripping, psychological thriller which keeps the reader totally involved. My only suggestion is to read Now You See Me first in order to understand Lacey's character better, and her interaction with Mark Joesbury. It, too, is an excellent read. I highly recommend both of them!
