Romance Suspense

PALE AS DEATH by Heather Graham takes us on a thrilling ride from the dark depths of Hollywood's past. A bone-chilling read about a murder and an investigation that is given to Detective Sophie Manning. What Sophie does not expect is a ghost comes along with the case.

When the body of a beautiful young woman is found murdered with wounds eerily reminiscent of the Black Dahlia murder. Is there a copycat killer on the loose? What is the reason behind the sudden interest and help offered by a reporter who claims to be an expert on The Black Dahlia murder? Was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Is there more than meets the eyes? Sophie must solve a case based on a perfect crime.

Graham has written a suspenseful thriller with a hint of romance. While the main focus is the murder case at hand, love is still a big part of the story. You will find lots of police work, forensics and investigation throughout have they try to desperately find the murder suspect.

The characters stand out, are well written and have intriguing backstories. Some are more secretive and slowly come to light with each page you read. They are likable and real.

The Black Dahlia murder has been told through numerous documentaries over the years and people know lots of the details surrounding the murder. Graham has really done her research in re- creating this murder mystery making it vividly realistic. PALE AS DEATH is a true nail-biting read in the Krewe of Hunters series. The perfect fall read to get you ready for the Halloween season.

SUMMARY

From the dark depths of Hollywood’s past

The crime scene is horrific: the corpse of a young actress, drained of blood and cut in two. LAPD Detective Sophie Manning’s new case is high-profile and difficult—there’s no evidence to work with. And it’s a disturbing echo of the infamous Black Dahlia killing. Sophie is burning the candle at both ends, desperate to catch the murderer before he strikes again, when she starts to experience inexplicable visits…from ghosts.

Bruce McFadden has a particular talent that can help Sophie—he can speak with the dead. As a consultant for the FBI’s paranormal team, the Krewe of Hunters, he’s been tasked with Sophie’s case and they’re forced to partner up. But Sophie doesn’t want his help, and she doesn’t want to share his peculiar skill. And she certainly isn’t ready for love, despite Bruce’s attentions.

As the killer taunts the police, Sophie and Bruce will discover that the threat is closer to home than they’d ever realized. Working side by side is the only way they’ll stop this deadly sequel.
