Synopsis

They say a painting can have a life of its own...In the case of Ghosts in the Mind by Henry Sebastian Hubert, that’s more than just an expression. This painting is reputed to come to life—and to bring death. The artist was a friend of Lord Byron and Mary Shelley, joining them in Switzerland during 1816, “the year without a summer.” That was when they all explored themes of horror and depravity in their art....Now, almost two hundred years later, the painting appears in New Orleans. Wherever it goes, death seems to follow.Danielle Cafferty and Michael Quinn, occasional partners in solving crime, are quickly drawn into the case. They begin to make connections between that summer in Switzerland and this spring in Louisiana. Danni, the owner of an eccentric antiques shop, and Quinn, a private detective, have discovered that they have separate but complementary talents when it comes to investigating unusual situations.Trying to blend their personal relationship with the professional lives they’ve stumbled into, they learn how much they need each other. Especially as they confront this work of art—and evil. The people in the portrait might be dead, but something seems to wake them and free them to commit bloody crimes. Cafferty and Quinn must discover what that is. And they have to destroy it—before it destroys them.

Book Review originally published here: [URL not allowed] I love Heather Graham’s books – most of the time. However, “Waking the Dead” was a tad disappointing for me. It wasn’t nearly half as scary as her “Krewe of Hunters” books, and the narrative dragged on through the middle......more

I like Graham's style of writing. The pace is fast and the preternatural elements are cool. From the Shores of Lake Geneva during the Byron, Shelly, Mary Shelly era/ A painting was conceived which harbored evil. And we thought that only the monster in Frankenstein was born at that time.......more

When I was a kid I had a bad habit of laughing at inappropriate times. Funerals, once during a touching solo performed by a robust opera singer at church, anytime someone was hurt, there I was laughing my head off while others were in tears. Thankfully I have grown out of that…well mostly. Reading Wak......more
