Summary
When a Cambridge student dramatically attempts to take her own life, DI Mark Joesbury realizes that the university has developed an unhealthy record of young people committing suicide in extraordinary ways. Against huge personal misgivings, Joesbury sends young policewoman DC Lacey Flint to Cambridge, with a brief to work undercover, posing as a depression-prone, vulnerable student. Psychiatrist Evi Oliver is the only person in Cambridge who knows who Lacey really is - or so they both hope.
But as the two women dig deeper into the darker side of university life, they discover a terrifying trend.... And when Lacey starts experiencing the same disturbing nightmares reported by the dead girls, she knows that she is next.

Very good.
I enjoyed this book although it did confuse me again in parts. I expect it's my 80 year old brain. Looking forward to the next book.

Another Great Sharon Bolton Book
I am on quite a run of Sharon Bolton's books, and this was my second Lacey Flint story. I love the way that "sensitive subjects" are tackled without fear, and every story keeps you want to keep listening.
Beautifully constructed and believably read.
Lacey Flint book 3 now awaits.

Great continuation of series
I have now read several of S.J. Bolton’s books and enjoyed them all. They are so well written and gripping. I can never guess what is going to happen and when the plot is revealed I am always surprised.
I like the character of Lacey Flint and how she interacts or not with DI Mark Joesbury. In Book One Now you see me Lacey was quite a loner until her character was somewhat revealed at end of book. In this book she is a much more rounded character although she still has hidden demons. She is working undercover in Cambridge and Joesbury is still working with her but they are working quite separately and really I did not feel the closeness between them from book one and really did not feel any sexual tension between them although Joesbury alluded to it.
The deaths are more statistically concerning than anything else as no foul play can really be suspected as suicide seems clearly to be the reason for the deaths. I really liked the relationship that developed between Lacey and the college psychiatrist Evie Oliver. Evie was a lovely character and I enjoyed hearing about her and her past life. Evie has previously been in Blood Harvest another of Bolton’s novels. Evie was aware of Lacey’s undercover role and was very supportive of her.
The story moves on a pace towards the end and remains interesting and gripping throughout. The ending is good and finishes off things nicely although leaving unfinished business between Lacey and Joesbury as usual to draw the reader back to the next novel and I am going to read on as soon as I can.
I would highly recommend this one. It can be read as a stand alone book but I would recommend read following book one of series to get insight into character of Lacey.

thoroughly enjoyable
am enjoying every sharon bolton book so far. found this one to be a gripping rollercoaster ride right to the end. love the way Ms Bolton deals with delicate topics and helps the reader understand them but also finds an alternative response to them. Ms Coleman is a wonderful narrator too.

Heart stopping!
Lacey is back. This is a brilliant and intricately written book. The pace is just relentless, and edge of your seat tense. Dead Scared is a very apt title because that’s just how I felt for Lacey whilst listening!
And oh what an ending!
