BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Can the same killer strike again—a hundred and fifty years later?
Estes Park, Colorado, is a place of serenity. But it wasn’t always so serene. Shortly after the Civil War, Nathan Kendall and his wife were murdered there, leaving behind a young son. The crime was never solved.
Now…historian Scarlet Barlow is working at a small museum attached to a B and B, the same building where that murder occurred. She recently came to Colorado, reeling after her divorce from FBI agent Diego McCullough. Diego—who’s just been asked to join the Krewe of Hunters, a unit dealing with “unusual” situations…
When Scarlet unwittingly takes pictures of people who’ve been murdered—just like the Kendalls a hundred and fifty years before—the police look at her with suspicion. Then the museum’s statues of historic people, including Nathan Kendall, begin to talk to her, and she knows it’s time to call her ex-husband. Diego heads to Estes Park, determined to solve the bizarre case that threatens Scarlet’s life—and to reunite with the woman he never stopped loving.
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts So this story is a little different at least to me than most of the books from Heather Graham. Not because it wasn’t good but because it didn’t have the history that Graham usually puts in her books. This book is set in Estes Park, Colorado and while it gives a little bit of the town there is really not a lot of other information given. The reason I really enjoy the books from Graham is she always includes so much history of the area that you want to book the next flight out to visit. This book just didn’t have that at all.
Not that being said the story was really interesting. The other part of the books Graham writes that I enjoy is that I never seem to figure out “who-dun-it” and this book was no exception. The ghost were fine. I enjoy when they have a bit more interaction. The suspense part of this was good as well.
I liked the romance of the story. Again it is a bit different than what Graham usually writes. Diego and Scarlet were married once so they have the connection already. They have a history that they could not work out but never stopped loving each other so when they are reunited the romance is rekindled versus having the new shine of a romance.
Any fan of Graham’s will enjoy this story. If you like romances with a bit of suspense you will enjoy it. I just wouldn’t say it is one of the best of the series. But I did want to thank Graham for the shout out to Asheville, NC (since I live near there). Maybe the next book can be set there… hint hint.
