ALREADY DEAD (A Laura Frost FBI Suspense Thriller) is book #5 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews. The series begins with ALREADY GONE (Book #1).

FBI Special Agent and single mom Laura Frost, 35, is haunted by her talent: a psychic ability which she refuses to face and which she keeps secret from her colleagues. While Laura gets obscured glimpses of what the killer may do next, she must decide whether to trust her confusing gift—or her investigative work.

As a string of bodies turns up, abandoned in increasingly public places, the FBI notes that they all have something in common: a single, burning candle at the scene of the crime. Is he playing a sick game?

 

Laura must decode the riddle: what does the fire mean? What drives him? And, most importantly, who is next?

 

A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the LAURA FROST series is a startlingly fresh mystery, rife with suspense, twists and turns, shocking revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

Future books in the series are also available!

Ratings and reviews

FBI Agent Laura Frost has the gift of precognition. She has used it to help solve cases and finally confessed it to her partner, Nate Lavoie. Unable to accept Laura’s answer, Nate asks Division Chief Rondelle for a transfer. Laura is devastated. Not only does she not want a new partner, she keeps having a vision of Nate dying and knows she needs keep him close in order to save him. Rondelle is unwilling to stop the transfer and Nate is not answering Laura’s calls and texts. Rondelle sends Laura off on a case with rookie agent Eric Won. He is anxious to impress and make his mark. He oversteps his authority and soon he and Laura are off on separate paths. There is not much to like about him until the end, when he responds to a message Laura sends and later confesses he has much to learn. This is another solid entry in the series. I like where Laura and Chris’s storyline is going. I cannot wait to see how Laura connects with Nate. She is no quitter.

Book 5 in series sees FBI agent Laura Frost on a new case but with a new partner. Hating the situation of her ex partner Nate asking for a new partner whilst Laura has to cope with a fresh out of the Academy one whilst trying to catch a serial killer leaving behind a trail of young victims with a burning candle clasped between their hands brings a lot of resentment to them both as they both have different ideas and actions. A great read with a heart racing finish.

Laura's partner, Nate, has taken a leave until he is assigned a new partner. Laura has trouble accepting this but has a rookie, Eric Won, assigned to her with the new case of murders they have to investigate. The killer leaves a strange symbol (a burning candle) with each new victim. The rookie thinks this is his chance to "solve" this case to prove how indispensable he will be to the FBI. This is a very good book that will keep you turning pages to see what happens next. Can't wait for the next book in this series!
