I really enjoy Heather Graham’s mix of paranormal woo-woo and romantic suspense. Her Krewe of Hunters series offers murder-mysteries, ghosts and romance. Within the series are mini-series featuring related characters or a setting. This mini-series comprises Fade to Black, Pale as Death, and Echos of Evil. This series features three-brothers who can see the dead including their dead mother.
Brodie McFadden a private investigator is in the Keys for a little R&R after a big case he helped his brothers with. That and he needs to decide whether he wants to accept the FBI’s offer to join the Krewe of Hunters with his brother. A dead body and museum curator Dakota Kody McCoy soon have him investigating a murder-mystery, seeing ghosts and falling in love.
Once again Graham delivered an interesting mystery, and I enjoyed tagging along for the ride. Dakota can also see ghosts. Her ghostly companion proved to be interesting. I liked both Brodie and Dakota. The setting was familiar having lived in Florida and I could just imagine the local musicians playing. A few twists, some ghostly assistance and some fade to black passion kept things interesting.
I giggled when the murder victim appears as a ghost. Shenanigans and interesting pop-ins added humor.
One thing I love about this series is they way Graham mixed local history into her tales. Don’t let the twenty-six books in series scare you off. Each book offers a complete mystery and romance. All have a tie in to the Krewe of Hunters, a special unit of the FBI that deals with unusual cases. All the members can speak with the dead. Most involve human evil and Graham writes a well-written plausible plot. I guessed who the culprit was, but not the reason until it was revealed.
Once again I enjoyed Luke Daniels' narration. I confess I prefer when he narrates fantasy, but he gives every character a unique voice and his female voices are well done. I felt that Brodie’s voice was too stiff and deep for my liking. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
