Welcome to Litsy!

I rarely give 5 stars, but this book truly deserves them all.
The plot revolves around strange cases of apparent suicide at Cambridge University. There, our detective will start investigating.
Flowing text, suspense, plot twists, but also heartbreaking love will give life to a story capable of keeping you glued until the last page.

I finished this one tonight. I liked her first one in the Lacey Flint series more, and I read 1.5 and this one this month. This was good, but there were a few things that bugged me. Still, pressing on in the series because I heard they get better.

So happy I came across this series in my little library.

2nd book in the Lacey Flint series and Lacey has been sent off to Cambridge University to pose as a student because of student suicides. Lacey meets up with Evi Oliver, student counsellor. Both begin to deteriorate emotionally similar to the students. I found The plot fast-paced. Lacey's relationship with Mark Joesbury doesn‘t seem to work. I found the ending left some loose ends. Recommend this series to those who like psychological suspense.

This the schedule for the Group Read of Dead Scared by Sharon Bolton, Book 2 in the Lacey Flint Series. This Group Read is taking place on Librarything, but others welcome to join on Litsy.

Second installment in the Lacey Flint series, this detective novel finds its MC going undercover at Cambridge University when it's discovered that the number of suicides is higher than the usual level. Is the pressure just getting to more students or is it something else altogether? Even more of a psychological thriller than the first book, Bolton does a tremendous job of both freaking you out and reeling you in. Highly recommended!

I wish I had read the synopsis before I dove into this one as I just don‘t think I was in the right head space for it. Deals with an unusually high number of suicides at Cambridge. Given events of the past few weeks it just made me feel icky. I‘m still enjoying this series but I desperately need a palate cleanser. 3 ⭐️

This is a thriller that I love! I made the mistake of reading part of it at night and ended up freaking myself out. Sharon Bolton is an amazing author and in some ways is darker than Tana French. Thank you to @Liberty for doing another fun day of giveaways! #GIVEAWAYTHRILLER

Although not as thrilling as Now You See Me, and somewhat predictable, Dead Scared gives more character development to our heroine and her "partner." Picking up a few months after the copycat Ripper murders burn through London that left everyone scarred, including Lacey. When Mark Joesbury recruits Lacey to pose as a Cambridge college student to get to the bottom of a string of suicides, Lacey has to push the emotional scars her last case left.

"This isn't your car..."
"Isn't it?"
Now she was in it the car smelled gorgeous; like sweet oranges and tiny white flowers on a tropical evening, and what the fuck was he now, a poet?

Maybe guilt would be like a heavy downpour from above, the first drops hardly noticeable, but gradually seeping through him until his entire being was drenched in it.

On to the next. I highly recommend the series !

You guys- I hate to dump on you, but I need to voice this somewhere. From emails that have been sent in the last day or so, I am terrified that I am going to be laid off (lack of work) before I have another job offer. I heard from the last interview today, and they have the intention of offering me a position, but they have to wait for contracts to come through, which could be up to 2 months. I've never lost a job before & don't know what to do.

For my pick for #Recommendsday. Dead scared was an awesome book that truly played with my imagination. Any fan of Tana French should give Sharon Bolton a try. In my opinion she is a little darker and tends to go with some creepy ideas... I LOVED this book. I read a lot at night and a couple of times creeped myself out. #GiveaScaryBook

Even crazier than the first 😱 I like my thrillers gritty and disturbing, and this series definitely delivers. The ending was probably too abrupt and I could've done without the romance subplot, but at the end of the day, I was thoroughly creeped out 👍🏻
