The Flynn brothers have inherited more than a New Orleans plantation. They've inherited a ghostly presence… and a long-kept secret.

Aidan Flynn, a private investigator and eldest of the Flynn brothers, scoffs at the haunted-house rumors—especially since Kendall Montgomery, a tarot card reader who has been living in the mansion, is the one to tell him the tale of a woman in white. But when he finds a human bone on the grounds and another by the river, Aidan delves into the dark history of the Flynn plantation.

Forced together to uncover the truth, Aidan and Kendall realize that a serial killer whose victims seem to vanish into thin air has long been at work…and that their own fates are about to be sealed forever unless they believe in the unbelievable.

Summary: First in the Flynn Brother's Trilogy!
Comment: Aidan Flynn is a private investigator that just learned that he and his two brothers have become the owners of a haunted plantation and if that is not enough, Aidan is positive that bones that have been turning up around New Orleans, is not the result of the ravaging of Hurricane Katrina. He's positive a serial killer is haunting the city. When he meets tarot reader Kendall Montgomery, who lived out at his family's plantation for a while, speaks of a lady in white and lights shining in the middle of the night, Aidan realizes that he must delve into the dark secrets of the plantation and his family's past. Together Aidan and Kendall uncover the truth surrounding the plantations history and that in order for them to each survive, they need to confront their own fears and disbelief.

As per usual Ms. Graham has penned another page turning title filled with suspense, paranormal intrigue and romance. Aidan and Kendall are fascinating characters and each of their pasts make for good conflict. This is the first book in the Flynn Brother's trilogy and I look forward to reading the rest. This author always delivers and this title is no exception.

Summary: Ominously
Comment: When you read a book and everything you read is part of the story, that's a good book. This ghostly book is so well written that maybe you would have nightmares... just kidding. But the plot will keep you wanting to know what will happen next and that's what a good writer should do.

Summary: Excellent Mystery/Paranormal Combo
Comment: This is the first novel of the prolific Heather Graham that I have read and it is book one in a trilogy about the Flynn Brothers. They have inherited an old plantation house in New Orleans from an aunt they did not even know existed. The oldest, Aiden, is a former FBI agent who left the agency after the death of his wife. His introduction to the Big Easy is an unnerving one. While walking along the muddy banks of the Mississippi he finds a human thigh bone with pieces of flesh clinging to it. He imagines the coroner will be interested in such a find, but not so. Aiden is remind in no uncertain terms that not long before, right after Katrina, bones and bodies could be found everywhere. His find means nothing. Or does it?

Until the death of Amelia Flynn, Kendall Montgomery had cared for the elderly lady who had spent her entire life at the plantation. This is where she wanted to die. Kendall was with her to the very end. The old house had it's legendary ghosts although Kendall thought such things nonsense. This despite the fact that she runs a small tea shop in town where she and her 2 employees Vinnie and Mason offer tarot card readings, claiming to clients that they can connect to the spirit world. It's all pretend on their part.

When the Flynn brothers arrive at the plantation house Kendall is making sure she has removed all of her possessions. As she was leaving through the doorway they meet. She finds Aiden to be rude, but the other two brothers, Jeremy and Zachery are quite pleasant company.

The brothers have formed their own private investigation agency. One case in particular dominates Aiden's thoughts, the disappearance of a young teen. He fears she is dead and perhaps the victim of a serial killer.

Kendall's skepticism about the paranormal starts to change. While giving a tarot card reading the skeleton on the Death card comes to life, or so it looks to her. She has dreams of Amilia who warns her of an evil that stalks New Orleans and Kendall is a particular target.

A series of frightening events bring Aiden and Amelia together; at first reluctantly and later much more agreeably . This suspenseful paranormal mystery has plenty of chilling moments and a nice touch of romance.

Summary: Perfect combination of mystery, romance and ghostly coincidences...
Comment: I haven't read much of Ms. Graham's work (only one other novel prior to this one), but I have to say that Deadly Night firmly placed me in the "fan" category. I really enjoyed the historical background that was laid out in this novel and the way that it was carefully weaved into the story line to create extra twists and turns. The characters were also extremely likeable and I feel the set-up for the next two novels in this series was perfect. All in all, a really nice read.
