In THE UNINVITED the Krewe of Hunters team goes to Philadelphia to investigate a possible murder in a historic home.
Allison Leigh is a professor of history, and has been a guide for the historical Tarleton-Dandridge House for a number of years. She loves the historical revolutionary war era house and plans to write a paper on it. Allison is beautiful, logical and doesn't believe in ghosts... even when she finds Julian Mitchell the same man she had just a few hours earlier found dead in one of the rooms of the historic house in her living room. She thinks she made him up.
Tyler Montegue, an F.B.I. agent with the Krewe of Hunters, a paranormal unit, does believe in ghosts. He's seen them and talked to them. At first neither is particularly thrilled with having to work together. Upon learning his identity, Allison begins making remarks about ghost busters and was sure they weren't there to solve a murder but to make some awful reality show.
After a lot of denial Julian, the ghost, finally gets through to her and is then seen by the whole team of investigators. As they all work to solve his murder as well as other mysterious events connected to the house, Allison and Tyler discover they are attracted to each other and work on that too.
This book has a double storyline in the extent that you are solving a modern day murder but you are also discovering the secrets of what happened to one of the original members of the Tarleton family, Lucy Tarleton. Lucy was a patriot spy during the occupation by the British and was believed to have been killed by her Crown lover Lord Brian "Beast" Bradley. But did he? What is the truth and what is someone willing to do to hide that truth?
I thoroughly enjoyed THE UNINVITED. It intrigued me all the way to the last page, with Ms. Graham's trick of trying to make the reader believe the obvious suspect is the killer before twisting it back around to look at another, and actually leaves you with a final kick at the end. Sometimes a book will have too many characters that make you have to reread pages just to make sure you got it straight but she managed to bring in a lot of secondary characters, giving them just enough to add color to the storyline but not enough to take over. THE UNINVITED is a book that will make you believe in ghosts.
