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.
Perfect suspense from New York Times
bestselling author Heather Graham! The latest book in her
New York Confidential series.
Someone is murdering beautiful young women in the New York
area and displaying them in mausoleums and underground
tombs. The FBI is handling the case, with Special Agent
Craig Frasier as lead.
Kieran Finnegan, forensic psychologist and part owner of
Finnegan's, her family's pub, is consulting on the case.
Craig and Kieran are a couple who've worked together on more
than one occasion. On this occasion, though, Craig
fears for the safety of the woman he loves. Because the
killer is too close. The body of a young model is found in a
catacomb under a two-hundred-year-old church, now
deconsecrated and turned into a nightclub. A church directly
behind Finnegan's in lower Manhattan.
As more women are murdered, their bodies discovered in
underground locations in New York, it's clear that the
police and the FBI are dealing with a serial killer. Craig
and Kieran are desperate to track down the murderer, a man
obsessed with female perfection. Obsessed enough to want to
"preserve" that beauty by destroying the women who embody it…
