    About this ebook



    There are those who walk among us who are no longer alive, but not yet crossed over. They seek retribution…vengeance…to warn. Among the living, few intuit their presence.

    Katie O'Hara is one who can.

    As she's drawn deeper and deeper into a gruesome years-old murder, whispered warnings from a spectral friend become more and more insistent. But Katie must uncover the truth: could David Beckett really be guilty of his fiancée's murder?

    Worse—the body count's rising on the Island of Bones, andthe dead seem to be reenacting some macabre tableaux from history. The danger is increasing by the moment—especially as Katie finds herself irresistibly drawn to David, who may be responsible for more than just one killing….

      The night that David Beckett filled in as a tour guide for Danny Zigler, the weekend tour host, tour participants got rather more than they bargained for. The authentic and detailed tableau they came upon showed Carl Tanzler and a young Cuban woman named Elena de Hoyas. Except that there was a real body there - that of David's ex-fiance Tanya.Ten years on. The police rejected David as Tanya's murderer but the case was never solved. Now David, Tanya's brother Sam, and Tanya's ex-boyfriend are all back in town, and the murderer strikes again!Heather Graham draws a long bow with the paranormal. You won't enjoy GHOST SHADOW if you can't tolerate a ghost or two. In fact the tourism industry in Key West thrives on them. Throw in a lynched privateer who is determined to right past wrongs, and Katie MacDonald who can not only see him but talks to him and to others more recently slain. The paranormal is not my usual cup of tea but the story was sufficiently intriguing to keep me reading.GHOST SHADOW is the first of a trilogy, all set in Key West (The Island of Bones) and all to be published within a very short time frame, just a month apart, June to August 2010. The books appear to be connected by characters in common.Heather Graham is a prolific author, writing also as Shannon Drake, and Heather Graham Pozzessere. Her books are characterised by romantic suspense, historical settings, and paranormal elements.

      The mystery of the ghosts and the trouble the town may be in kept me interested in this book. The connection of the characters and the action that happens between the real world and the ghost was a very interesting idea. I really enjoyed this book.

      Katie O'Hara, owner of Katie-okie, a karaoke business that seems to only play at her uncle's bar and restaurant, attempts to purchase a tourist attraction that has been vacant on the island ever since a woman was found murdered in one of the exhibits. The evening before the purchase goes through, she walks past the building and sees the lights on. Katie, of course, goes to investigate the mysterious lights only to find the co-owner of the building, and the man who many believed murdered the woman years before, David Beckett. After David blocks Katie's purchase of the museum, the two wind up teaming up in order to find out who killed the woman, David's ex-fiance, so many years before. And, oh yeah, did I mention that Katie can see and talk to ghosts? Katie's constant companion is Bartholomew - a wise-cracking pirate (oops, PRIVATEER) who is determined to keep Katie safe.

      "Ghost Shadow" is an entertaining paranormal romantic suspense. The investigation is fun to follow, but remains in the background to the romance. The heroine in spite of communicating with ghosts (Bartholomew the spirit adds humor to the mix) has doubts about Beckett even as she falls in love with him. With a supernatural nod to Hitchcock's Suspicion, fans will enjoy "Ghost Shadow".

    • 4/5
      Another really good fun read from Heather Graham. Love the action, the ghost characters, and the wonderful Key West setting. A really good read. First in a trilogy.
    • 4/5
      Good book, but not the best in the series. It seemed a bit slow and repetitive in some places. Always a good author to read.

      Katie sees dead people. She talks to them too. Katie works at her uncle Jamie's pub in Key West.She runs Katie-okie, the karaoke nights entertainment. Katie is young and beautiful and loves her life in Key West. One of her best friends is Bartholomew, who just happens to be a ghost. When her co-worker Clarinda, and all of the customers at O'Hara's pub she her talking to "herself", she tries to convince them she is singing along with her music. Only her brother knows about Katie'sgift of seeing ghosts, and he is in denial, as well as out of town.When a failed business venture brings an old friend of her brothers backto town. Things begin to get interesting. David had once been a suspect in a murder case. One that involved his then fiance, or to be more precise, his ex. Suddenly, there is another murder...and things start getting crazy. Katie and Bartholomew get caught up in trying to find the murderer. This was a fun read. It wes quick and easy and I loved Bartholomewmost, out of all of the ghosts. And believe mer there were a few. Did I mention that Bartholomew was the ghost of a hanged pirate?Oops! I meant to say privateer...

      This was tedious to read. I don't recommend it.
    • 3/5
      I recently decided to read the Bone Island Trilogy by Heather Graham because it fit a challenge I was participating in. I don't normally care that much for paranormal romantic suspense but this wasn't too bad. The first book in the trilogy, Ghost Shadow, revolves around photographer David Beckett. He left Key West under the shadow of suspicion ten years ago when his former fiancee was found dead in the wax museum owned by his family. He had an alibi, but since the killer was never caught, there's still a great deal of suspicion surrounding him. Katie O’Hara has been negotiating with the estate to buy the museum. When a stripper is murdered and her body displayed in another museum, she and David convince the police to reopen the old murder case.

      This is primarily a romance series, with the paranormal focused on an interesting ghost named Bartholomew, who used to be a privateer. There was a fascinating timeline at the beginning of the book that described the historical events alluded to in the story. I thought the main characters were predictable and the best part of the story always involved Bartholomew. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of paranormal romance you might like this book a lot more than I did. I'm going to continue the trilogy and see if it improves.

      Not a bad thriller/mystery, but one that probably won't stick with me for a lengthy amount of time. This was a reasonably quick read, not as suspenseful as some, but okay. It was kind of coincidental that I happened to catch "Ghost" on TV while reading...some minor similarities in regards to those individuals "in between" worlds. This novel in no way blew me away, but I'd probably be willing to read more by Heather Graham.
    • 2/5
      Just not sure on this one. I never know how to rate a book where I liked the story but didn’t really like any of the characters. I take that back I did enjoy Sean and Bartholomew. The mystery is very intriguing and the setting is phenomenal – makes me want to visit and explore Key West. I had a hard time buying the romance between Katie/David. David is a very stiff character to the point even the narrator talked in a very formal stiff manner when voicing him. Very little emotion to help me feel like he really felt anything for anybody. The story lost a star because the conclusion was so obvious early on that it made the characters in the book seem almost stupid for not realizing it sooner. The author also seemed to be in denial about the villain. She used “dramatic pauses” (I don’t know how else to explain it) where the characters go “OMG I know who the killer is” and then the scene changes. She also kept referring to “the killer” when it was well past time to use the character’s name. The narrator was very good on the female characters but I got a little confused on the male characters except for David. I will continue the series as I already own it.
