Ghost Shadow

Just finished Ghost Shadow by Heather Graham tonight. Interesting. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the book.


Like a good mystery? Read it.
Like suspenseful books? Read it.
Like the supernatural? Read it.
Like explicit love scenes? Read it.

This book was recommended and loaned to me by a coworker. I have to be honest, though. I don't plan on reading the other recommended book by this author. I like a good mystery and a suspenseful book, especially one with cliffhangers that make you never want to put it down, but I'm NOT really into the supernatural world or reading explicit love scenes. (Honestly, when the hubs and I are watching a movie we've rented, we fast forward through the explicit love scenes, which is what I had to do with this book.)


The plot...

The setting of the book is Key West. The main character, Katie, meets up with David who comes back to town (after 10 years) to take care of some family business. They work together (along with the ghosts Katie can see and hear) to find the killer who mysteriously strangles community members (and leaves the victims' bodies in museum displays) every time David comes to town.

In the meantime, of course, Katie and David form a bond. However, David didn't come to town to stay. Will their relationship last beyond the resolution of the murder cases?

All in all, the mystery part of the book was great. I don't think I would recommend the book, though, because of the supernatural aspect, the explicit love scenes, and some unnecessary language.

Thanks for the read, though, coworker. Much appreciated!
