Description
"The crime scene is horrific: the corpse of a young actress, drained of blood and cut in two. LAPD Detective Sophie Manning's new case is high-profile and difficult-- there's no evidence to work with. And it's a disturbing echo of the infamous Black Dahlia killing. Sophie is burning the candle at both ends, desperate to catch the murderer before he strikes again, when she starts to experience inexplicable visits... from ghosts. Bruce McFadden has a particular talent that can help Sophie-- he show more can speak with the dead. As a consultant for the FBI's paranormal team, the Krewe of Hunters, he's been tasked with Sophie's case and they're forced to partner up. But Sophie doesn't want his help, and she doesn't want to share his peculiar skill. And she certainly isn't ready for love, despite Bruce's attentions. As the killer taunts the police, Sophie and Bruce will discover that the threat is closer than they'd ever realized. Working side by side is the only way they'll stop this deadly sequel"--Book jacket. show lessTags

Pale as Death by Heather Graham
Krewe of Hunters series #25. Paranormal mystery with a smidge of romance. Can be read as a stand-alone although a couple of the original characters make an appearance.
Someone is copying an old murder Hollywood murder case. LAPD Detective Sophie Manning works with FBI consultant Bruce McFadden to investigate. A couple of ghosts help as well.
Another new person seeing ghosts who help work the case. Jackson from much earlier in the series makes an appearance. Grizzly details and quick relationship.
A good mystery.

This was a good mystery. Sophie and Bruce were trying to find a gruesome killer in LA. Lots of twists & turns with numerous choices on who was the killer. I went back & forth between 3 people but in the end I was wrong. I would have rated this a 5 if in the Epilogue Sophie's name hadn't been used instead of someone else's. That threw me off & I reread that sentence several times trying to make sense of it so I dropped the rating 1/2 a point. Otherwise it was a good read.
Loved it, as usual. ❤
