BOOK SYNOPSIS:
It’s a city of beauty, history…hauntings. And one of the most haunted places in Savannah is a tavern called The Dragonslayer, built in the 1750s. The current owner, Gus Anderson, is a descendant of the original innkeeper and his pirate brother, Blue.

Gus summons his granddaughter, Abigail, home from Virginia, where she’s studying at the FBI Academy. When she arrives, she’s devastated to find him dead. Murdered. But Abby soon learns that Gus isn’t the only one to meet a brutal and untimely end; there’ve been at least two other victims. Then Captain Blue Anderson starts making ghostly appearances, and the FBI’s paranormal investigation unit, the Krewe of Hunters, sends in Agent Malachi Gordon.

Abby and Malachi have a similar ability to connect with the dead…and a similar stubbornness. Sparks immediately begin to fly-sparks of attraction and discord. But as the death toll rises, they have to trust each other or they, too, might find themselves among the dead haunting old Savannah!

REVIEW:
I am always amazed at the history that Graham has to research to write her books. And this is more of the same. This history is about pirates and was very entertaining. I usually do not know who the killer is so I was surprised that I figured it out in this book but one out of 10 isn’t much of a record.

The characters are interesting but I didn’t care for the way that Abby was written. While having just gotten out of the FBI academy she was written as naive and inexperienced and yet Malachi was written very street smart and knowledgeable. They did have a good connection though. And it was nice to catch up with some of the background characters from previous stories.

If you enjoy a romantic suspense ghost story than Graham is the author to read.
