Being Dead is Easy - Louise Sharland

Grace Midwinter thought the worst was behind her. She might well have been wrong.

Nine months after surviving being held captive by a serial killer, probation officer Grace Midwinter is trying to rebuild her life. But when her good friend Layla Mitchell is found dead, and the police seem convinced it's a suicide, Grace isn't so sure. Layla's hidden world of online camming, dangerous secrets, and powerful enemies pulls Grace into a web of deceit and murder.

Determined to uncover the truth, Grace's investigation connects Layla's death to a ruthless crime syndicate, a missing sex worker, and a conspiracy spanning the South of England. As she delves deeper, the threats grow deadlier, and Grace realises she's up against forces and agendas far more dangerous than even she could ever have imagined.

With her enemies closing in, Grace must fight to expose the truth and save herself before becoming the next target.

Will she find justice, or will the darkness consume her?
