SOMEONE IS WATCHING YOU...
A series of suicides. Each one a female university student. Each one more horrifying than the last.
The police know it cannot be coincidence. But they can't prove it.
They need someone to go undercover. A young policewoman, as vulnerable as the others. As unprepared for the nightmare that will greet her.
Watch your back, Lacey Flint . . .

In love with this series!

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.
Great continuation of series

A few things not explained, and seemed to end in a bit of a rush. Also a few occasions where characters didn't do the obvious course of action, which was basically to phone someone else to check. Maybe characters in novels are just developed lacking a basic common sense part of their DNA.
Narration would have been better with more pauses between each different section - many times I got confused in the first sentence or two of the new section about someone different. Take a breath, relax, pause, then start the next section!
