Summary

Everyone is afraid. But some fears can kill you.

A gripping new thriller featuring a brilliantly complex psychologist, Dr Jessie Flynn, who struggles with a dark past. Perfect for fans of Nicci French and Val McDermid.

Sometimes you should be frightened of the dark…

A baby is abandoned in the middle of the night. DI Bobby ‘Marilyn’ Simmons suspects the father is planning to take his own life following the violent suicide of his eldest son Danny a year earlier.

Meanwhile an investigation begins into the murder of trainee soldier Stephen Foster. Just sixteen years old, he has been stabbed in the neck and left to die in the woods.

When psychologist Dr Jessie Flynn sees connections between the deaths of Stephen and Danny, she fears a third traumatized young man faces the same fate…

Critic reviews

" Scared to Death is one of those book that creeps up on you, beautifully observed and written, skillfully plotted and developed and with characters as complex and flawed as your most interesting friends. I loved it." (Simon Toyne)
"Tremendously accomplished - a slow burn builds into an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Complex, humane and completely convincing." (Mel McGrath, author of Give Me the Child)

Loved the first book Loved this and ❤️ Claire Corbett

I think I’m becoming a super fan of Claire Corbett! I love her voices so much that I just keep buying books that she’s read with little regard for the story BUT she chooses wisely and so far I’ve enjoyed all of her books. I’m gutted that the third book by Kate Medina isn’t read by CC it seems odd that it isn’t. So much so that I’m considering reading the book to keep the characters as perfectly formed in my head ... if that makes sense?
Great characters in-depth description without boring you to death. Twists and turns that all lock into place towards the end. I like that it doesn’t just end abruptly. A few laugh out loud moments from the perfectly observed mannerisms of the characters

Goes over a few details in the first book so you get just enough of a recap really looking forward to seeing what Kate Medina does next.

Well done ladies I loved this book / series. Hurry up I want more!!

Excellent - another brilliant thriller

I really enjoyed this book, a fast paced and interesting story with great characters. Deals with difficult issues well. Narrator was brilliant. Having read two Dr Jessie Flynn books, I can't wait for number 3!!

Typical top notch Medina

Typically complex and thought provoking, with the comfort and familiarity of Jessie Flynn- you know it’s Kate Medina and you know you will be hooked, as I was right until the end!
