BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Sleepy Hollow isn’t so sleepy anymore…
One night, New York FBI agent Aiden Mahoney receives a visitor in a dream–an old friend named Richard Highsmith. The very next day he’s sent to Sleepy Hollow because Richard’s gone missing there.
Maureen–Mo–Deauville now lives in the historic town and works with her dog, Rollo, to search for missing people. She’s actually the one to find Richard?or more precisely his head, stuck on a statue of the legendary Headless Horseman.
Mo and Aiden, a new member of the Krewe of Hunters, the FBI’s unit of paranormal investigators, explore both past and present events to figure out who betrayed Richard, who killed him and now wants to kill them, too. As they work together, they discover that they share an unusual trait?the ability to communicate with the dead. They also share an attraction that’s as intense as it is unexpected?if they live long enough to enjoy it!
REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts Another wonderful tale by Graham. The best thing about Graham’s stories is the history. There is no way to read her books without wanting to jump in the car and race off to the locale to see all she speaks of. Or if you can’t drive there at least jump in the car to head to the library to read about the places and people that are real. In this case we are in Sleepy Hollow, the home of the classic by Washington Irving. Sleepy Hollow is something I have known for a long time, really who doesn’t, but there was background that I was not aware of which made it more interesting.Other things happened in this story that I am not used to in Graham books. First, Aidan is different. Aidan has the gift but it is dormant which is a real difference from the normal Krewe tales. Most of the time the main couple each have the gift but aren’t willing to tell each other right away. In this one Aidan doesn’t have it. Or at least he thinks he lost it and Mo has the gift but in a much different way than is normally written. They both are very interesting characters and a welcome change. And the second thing that was different? I figured out the “who-dun-it” which I usually am not able to do. And to tell you the truth I am not even sure how I figured it out this time. But again that was a welcome change for me. While I love the fact that I usually can not figure it out once in a while it is nice to know I am not just plain dumb.
I really enjoyed this story. Probably one of my favorites from Graham lately even though I would never miss one of her Krewe Of Hunters books.
