Review

Heather Graham has done it again. She’s written a fast paced book with a wonderful hero and heroine.  This book is one of the Krewe of Hunters series. I think this series is quite well done. The Krewe is made up of special agents in a unit within the FBI. They all have a paranormal type gift. Several of the members of the unit see and communicate with ghosts.

This particular story is set in Salem, Massachusetts and I love the way Ms. Graham describes the crisp fall days and evenings. I could see it in my mind and could almost feel the coming of fall in my veins. I also love the historical facts sprinkled in the narrative. Being a big fan of the sad history of the Salem witch trials, it was interesting to have this be a part of the story.

The story centers around a young man that is arrested for the axe murders of his family. The hero is a lawyer and he takes on the defense of the young man. The heroine is a member of the FBI unit/Krewe of Hunters. Both the hero and heroine are natives of the city and have returned to the area for visits. The hero still has a house there and the heroine has family there.

The romance unfolds during the investigation of the murders and the love scenes are sensual but not overly done. I like the light touch that Ms. Graham has in her stories. She gives the reader enough to feel the attraction between the parties without going too far with graphic details.

I also enjoy the light paranormal touch in these stories. One thing that did niggle at me was one scene where the heroine was tied up. She initially was on a sofa but then the narrative went on to describe her being in a chair. It took me out of the story as I went back to try to figure out if I read something wrong. All in all, though, this was a great read and I recommend it. If you like ghost stories and fast paced mysteries, this is the book for you.
