KREWE OF HUNTERS 13


In tiny Sleepy Hollow, New York, the main attractions are the Headless Horseman and his author, Washington Irving. When a psychopathic killer determines to mock the Headless Horseman legend in brutal and gruesome ways, it's up to the FBI Krewe of Hunters to search out and stop the killer. A new member, a childhood friend of one of the first victims, has been personally summoned by that victim's spirit [though he doesn't believe it].


As usual, author Heather Graham Krewe of Hunters in the history and the literary history of the area, and brings plenty of tense Suspense while the Krewe and civilian counterparts hunt an unexpected, twisted villain.

What I loved:
The history! I really had never given any thought to the village of Sleepy Hollow but now it is high up on my To Visit list. I loved the bits about Washington Irving and stories of the Revolutionary War.

The characters - Mo and Aiden were both just nice people and I loved their interaction involving seeing ghosts. I always love seeing the Krewe work together and the residents of Sleepy Hollow added a bit of fun as well. Oh and Rollo! Rollo was my favorite. I feel like I need to go out and adopt a wolfhound stat!

The mystery - Graham can be a little inconsistent on her mystery quality but this one is one of the best ones I've come across. The reasons made sense and I was actually surprised at the reveal!

The ghosts - I love ghosts in books and really how can having the ghost of Washington Irving not be a good thing?

What I didn't love:
There wasn't much I didn't love about this one but there was an angle in the investigation that took up some page time that then got dropped and never fully explained.

This was a fast paced enjoyable romantic suspense that leaned heavier on the suspense than the romance. It was a perfect read for Halloween season and left me with the desire to read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and visit the village itself!
