Kieran Finnigan, is a psychologist and co-owns the pub Finnigan's with her family. She tries to stay out of trouble but trouble seems to find her. When a killer with A PERFECT OBSESSION, who is going after beautiful women involves her twin, Irish families being as they are, it soon involves her.

FBI Special Agent Craig Frasier finds himself in the lead on the death of a beautiful actress/model who is found in hidden catacombs in what was once a church. The chamber had been found when the deconsecrated church's new owner does some remodeling. Craig would like nothing more than to keep Kieran out of this investigation, but knows that if family is involved so will she be. The only thing he can do is work twice as hard to solve the murder because more beautiful women go missing and time is ticking. But number one on his mind is keeping a close eye on Kieran because she is as beautiful as the other women who have gone missing.

A PERFECT OBSESSION is an intriguing mix of mystery, romance and history. You will find yourself drawn into the characters and atmosphere from the first word and, if you are like me, you want to find that pub and soak it all up. I enjoyed Kieran and Craig and the way they understand each other. Craig might not like some of the things that she gets into but he backs her up unquestionably. I love when author Heather Graham describes her world, especially places that I probably will never see and gives insights most tourists will never find. She also gives a solid history background to get the flavor and feel of her particular world. I have to admit that in this one I felt the pace got a little bogged down by the history of the cemeteries of New York, but it did fit with the killers plans for his victims.

If you want to read about a couple who are learning each other and going slowly to the next step, getting the feel and sound of an Irish family and pub, a mysterious killer and historical settings then A PERFECT OBSESSION will fit the bill perfectly.
