Book Review: Wicked Deeds by Heather Graham

Wicked Deeds
by Heather Graham (Graham)

 

Who best to help solve a murder of a Poe admirer, then the ghost of Poe himself. Poe appears to Vicki Preston and FBI agent Griffin Pryce when a modern murder reflects Poe’s work and appears to be related to his own mysterious death. Book 23 of the Krewe of Hunters series, this title can stand on it own (though books 21 & 22 also have Vicki and Griffin as the main characters). A suspenseful read with a satisfying ending.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try any Krewe of Hunters titles but especially Dying Breath (21) and Dark Rites (22) also by Heather Graham. Romantic paranormal mysteries. Another series that pairs romance, mystery, the FBI and sometimes a bit of paranormal is The FBI Thriller series by Catherine Coulter. Book 1 is The Cove.]
