The first victim is found floating in a creek-naked, beautiful, brutally garrotted. Lily Slocum was a college student with everything to live for and nothing to fear... until a madman made her his obsession. At first glance, a quiet campus town like Wickfield seems like the ideal place for Kate Corbin to start over after a traumatic attack. But when another young girl disappears on her way to class, Kate's fear resurfaces in earnest. She's right to be afraid. Behind Wickfield's picture-perfect facade, a nightmare is unfolding... and it's about to strike chillingly close to home. A serial killer is on the loose... ruthless, twisted, and lethally smart. Now, locked in a desperate race against time, Kate's only Chance of stopping a madman's grisly game is to venture deeper into a diabolical web where no one is who they seem to be... and the smallest mistake could be her last.
Rebecca Drakes books will keep you intrigued as soon as you start reading. I was hooked after I read her first book (Dont' be afraid), had to rush out to get her second book (The next Killing) and couldn't wait for The DEAD PLACE to be released, it was worth the wait. This is her best book yet!!! If you like suspense thrillers you'll love this one. Thanks to the SPOILER WARNING not to read a review by SHOEMAKER, I was able to enjoy this book and find out THE SHOCKING ENDING for myself.
Prepare yourself for a thrill ride of suspense

Evil lurks in Wickfield, in the form of a killer so malevolent, so cunning, it will make your blood freeze in your veins. This magnificently-written thriller is one of the scariest psychological suspense novels I've read in a long time. Be sure your house is brightly-lit and triple-locked before you hunker down with this one, because you won't be able to put it down until the final page. Enjoy!
Best Yet!!!

This is Rebecca Drake's best book yet. It combines fast pacing and well plotted action with richly developed characters and finely crafted writing. If you like thrillers you are in for a treat. I won't say more because you will want to follow the twists and turns yourself!
Couldn't put it down!

Rebecca Drake delivers again! If you want thrills and chills you've got to read her latest, The Dead Place. Intriguing, twisty plot and a killer ending. I'm giving this book to every book lover on my Christmas list, if I can wait that long to share it with them. Ignore the earlier negative review. Whoever M. Shoemaker is, he/she said pretty much the same things about a number of other wonderful books. Check it out and you'll see what I mean.
Nicely Done!
