1: Beware of Ouji Boards!
Christina Hardy is moving back into her grandma's old house--one that holds many memories, good and bad. Unfortunately, the return of a serial killer who is targeting beautiful red-heads (such as Christina), Christina's hidden-until-now predilection to see ghosts and some messing with a Ouija board at her housewarming party opens the door for Christina to become haunted by the cop who was originally accused of the killings and who wants Christina to clear his name.
Jed Braden, former cop turned novel-writer and private investigator, is a distant relation of Christina's. He's looking into the murders, concerned because one of his books was a fictionalized account that went along with everyone's belief that the cop did it--only the cop was killed and now the murders have started again. If it's not a copy-cat, Jed wants to help clear the dead cop and his own conscience for adding to the family's pain. And he's romantically interested in Christina--who with her red hair, is in danger until the killer is caught.
The tale is quite readable and suspenseful. Graham is an old and sure hand at these things. I'm not sure this is one of her best, though, since there was sparks but not much of a relationship, otherwise, between Jed and Christina. But if mystery is what you care about, this one was pretty good. I did figure it out before the end, which is rare for me, but it was still unusual enough to be interesting.

2: Quick and easy beach reading
This book was quick to read and would make an appropriate beach bag book. The paranormal aspect was intereting but the murder mystery was actually not well thought out or explained. It was easy to figure out who the murderer was but it never explained why he became a murderer, I would have rated the book higher if the author had spent a little time explaining that aspect.

3: GHOSTLY MYSTERY
Redheads are being murdered one by one in this haunting chiller by popular author Heather Graham. Christina Hardy meets the accused killer, but there's only one problem: Beau Kidd is dead. The ghost professes his innocence and pleads with her to find the real culprit. Skeptic cop turned PI Jed Braden doesn't want to believe her, not even when Beau's sister hires him for the same purpose. Can he learn the truth before Christina becomes the next victim? Besides the romance between the main characters, this mystery kept me guessing whodunit until the end.

4: Excellent read!
This was the first novel I have read in years, and I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was constructed very well, and the characters are life-like. I read the book in about 8 hours, and I highly recommend it!

5: If you like Ghosts then maybe
I have read almost of all Heather Grahams books as well as the her "Shannon Drake" novels...this one wasn't as good though. It was laborious and I figured out who the killer was...but there was no basis as to why. If you're a fan then you must read it. Otherwise don't expect much. My favorite character is "killer" Christine's dog.
