    About this audiobook

    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.

      In Graham’s paranormal mystery novel, Danielle Cafferty and Michael Quinn team up again to solve a crime. A famous painting by Henry Sebastian Hubert, distant relative to the local pathologist, is reputed to come to life and kill. And now someone in New Orleans has purchased the priceless work of art.Cafferty and Quinn begin to piece the history of the painting together. Danni owns a local eccentric antique shop, and Quinn, a private investigator, have long since recognized that they each have separate “gifts” that work well together when it comes to the unexplained. Working together, they seek out this “work of art” knowing it is pure evil. Discovering what brings the painting to life, they must destroy it before it destroys anyone else, including them.Once again Graham has created an original and well-written story. This is a must read for all Heather Graham fans.

      Danni and Quinn reunite again to stop another cursed item, this time a painting, from killing in New Orleans.
    • 4/5
      I love the paranormal aspects of her stories. Great mystery with a twist !
    • 5/5
      Some evil should not be dispute against all odds. But because of frame this artists did without them knowing that this evil cannot be controlled. An art piece that done with blood of killers and within this same art piece evil is alive and requires blood to bring them into existence and when that I'd done people are killed. Quinn and the detectives worked this case until they began to notice something out of the original. With other help they were able to stop this evils. For good reason and they help defending their people.
    • 2/5
      Unimaginative. Plodding plotline. Boring.
    • 4/5
      This book had just the right amount of creep factor along with the mystery element. I loved it. I loved the characters and the locations of New Orleans and Switzerland. I hadn't read the first book in this series and didn't even realize it was a series, but now I'm ready to go buy it. I've always enjoyed read Ms. Graham's books and I'm glad I found this one and hopefully there will be more to come.
