Another great entry into the Krewe series. Bruce McFadden has been haunted for years, and now he's about to head out to LA to help a detective who may or may not want his help. Sophie knows his brother and his soon to be sister in law, Marnie, but what does she really want with a P.I.? And is she really seeing ghosts, or has the work load of being a top detective in Hollywood gotten to her? This case will combine history and the present into a race against the clock, as well as one that will test everyone's bonds of trust. I enjoyed getting to see Jackson Crowe again, but was hoping we might meet up with a few of the other Krewe members as well.

Two dead women, their bodies mutilated, are found in LA. Both were aspiring actresses. The murder scenes are reminiscent of the Black Dahlia Case from the 1940’s. Det Sophie Manning is working the case when she sees a ghost in a zoot suit from the 40’s who speaks to her, he thinks he can help her solve the crime. Krewe Of Hunters consultant Bruce McFadden has volunteered to help on the case. Bruce sees and communicates with ghosts. As their investigation progresses Sophie begins to suspect that the culprit could be a lot closer to the case than anyone realizes.

This book is part of the Krewe Of Hunters series, but this book could be read as a stand alone. There is plenty of gore in this book but it also has mystery, and a romance.
I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to readers. I didn’t guess who the bad guy was, there were plenty of suspects. I would give this book 4 1/2 stars. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

In a brutal killing mirroring the Black Dahlia case of 1940’s Hollywood, a woman is cut in half and drained of blood. LAPD detective Sophie Manning is all too well aware of the resemblance to the famous cold case, the last thing she needs is ghostly visitors. Krewe of Hunters consultant Bruce McFadden can talk to the dead, and therefore is in a very good place to help Sophie. Sophie wants nothing to do with Bruce, she’s not sure she believes he can do what he says he can and she’s certainly not ready to deal with the feelings he arouses in her. Fans of Graham’s long running series won’t be disappointed in her latest entry, which has plenty of ghosts and gore
