The Night is Watching

Heather Graham has, without any doubt, become one of my absolute favorite authors of all. She is able to mix mystery, the paranormal and romance in a way that makes her books really enjoyable to read and without shorting any of those three areas.

This story takes place in Lily, Arizona, a small town that makes its living based on tourists that come to see an old theater, a bar, a bed and breakfast made-over jail and other attractions. The problems all start when a skull turns up in a storage area in the theater and some of the Krewe of Hunters become involved. Pretty soon they have a lot more than just a skull to deal with. Bodies start to be found in various places and one of them seems to be pretty old.

The ghosts play a prominent part include the ghost of an actress that had worked on the stage who never talks, the reason for that being made quite clear later on in the story.

The romance is ends up being between the town's Sheriff and an artist sent in from the Krewe of Hunters so, again, all three areas are covered. If that wasn't enough there's even a shoot out, betrayal and a search for gold taken from a stagecoach in the past. It's a really, really good book.
