From Amazon.com ~ At the start of this chilling paranormal thriller, anthropologist Leslie MacIntyre eagerly accepts an invitation to work on an archeological dig near New York City's Hastings House, a historic building that survived the explosion which a year earlier seriously injured her and killed her fiancé, Matt Connolly. As a temporary resident of Hastings House, Leslie, who has developed the ability to communicate with ghosts, sees Matt in her dreams, complete with convincing erotic love scenes. A secondary plot adds to the intrigue as Matt's cousin, PI Joe Connolly, searches for a missing social worker, whose disappearance may be linked to that of local prostitutes. Leslie's paranormal powers lead her to not only important archeological discoveries but also grave personal danger. The intense, unexpected conclusion will leave readers well satisfied.
I have to disagree with Amazon's comment that the conclusion left me "well satisified". Far from it.
It sounded like an interesting premise ... but I can't say anything good about it. The "sex scenes" with Matt, the ghost, were dumb. Joe, the cousin, was drab. I didn't care about Leslie at all. I didn't like the writing. To be honest, I didn't care who "dunnit" ... I just wanted to be finished. I saw the happy ending coming ... dumb dumb dumb!
This was the first book I've read by Graham and I won't be reading any others.
