Already Dead (A Laura Frost FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 5) Kindle Edition
“A MASTERPIECE OF THRILLER AND MYSTERY. Blake Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.”
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)
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.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2023Candles are supposed to bring light to the darkness around us unless the person lighting that candle decides it’s for memorial purposes instead of light. Why should this man get to decide whose turn it is for a candle to be lit on their lifeless body. A life that he decided to end. Agent Frost follows the trail of that flame needing to figure out where it’s leading her. She’s got to figure this out quickly before another life is placed in darkness with only that small candle flame to lead her to the next victim before it’s too late.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022Another great book in this series. A new partner introduced in this book with the old one still in the background as far as Laura is concerned. Twists and turns are great with this series and this book is more of the same, I can't wait for the next one.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022Laura Frost when she is called by her Boss for the next case she finds out that her partner Nate has requested a transfer. Even with him having requested a transfer, she thought he would be on the case with her. Nate asked for personal time and had not been answering Laura's texts or phone calls. Special Agent Laura Frost has to break ina trainee, Eric Won. It is a wild bumpy ride for the two of them, but in the end they get the person who was doing the killing. This was a good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2022I'm hoping Mate and Laura get back together.
I feel like they will and he'll start believing her psychic ability
Good stuff Blake!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022FBI 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 to keep him close in order to save him.Chief 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022Laura has psychic ability, does it help or hinder her in her cases
With a new partner, they are facing a challenging case
The killer’s calling card is a burning candle at the scene.
Finding a connection, and the reason of the candle
Gives us a good flowing plot to figure out Well done and enjoyed
Given arc for my voluntary review and my honest opinion l
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022Already Dead has an interesting plot where Laura and her new partner, Agent Won, are tracking a serial killer who lights candles on top of his victims. Their leads get them nowhere, and Agent Won acts like a toddler having a tantrum, giving humor to the scenes. Will he ever learn to listen to what Laura is saying? Will he accompany her and really work as her partner? This story has some great developments that clearly show what being a team means, and how looking after one another in any situation is important. But Laura keeps on trying to reach her previous partner and she keeps on having visions about him. How will this part of their story end?
I received a free copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022In this 5th book in the series, we find Laura being assigned a new partner, and unable to get in touch with Nate, her old partner. A new case to solve, with the killer leaving young women dead and posed with a lit candle held in their hands! Her new partner is young and green, and she has very little patience to deal with him. Worse, Laura's ability to sense the killer is not working well. With the bodies piling up and no leads to find the killer, the tension is high! This is a very exciting and well written book, I highly recommend it as well as the rest of the series! You won't be able to put it down!

3.0 out of 5 stars ok
These books by Blake pierce are what i call easy reads, they are not exciting or even hard to put down they are fluff books. The stories are nearly always the same.
