The Death Dealer

The Ravens are members of a society dedicated to the reading and studying the works of Edgar Allen Poe. When one member of the society is murdered and another survives a serious auto accident, Genevieve O'Brien asks her friend, P.I. Joe Connolly, to investigate. Genevieve knows about horror and killing since she survived being held prisoner by a crazed killer. The newspapers refer to the case as the Poe Killings and Genevieve fears that her mother might be the next victim.

The story is a quick read and doubly entertaining with the author's play on words, telling a story that mirrors Poe's stories and weaving together a cast of interesting characters. There isn't much suspense but the story is well written and worth reading.

The Ravens are a society where the members are dedicated to reading and studying the works of Edgar Allen Poe.

When one member of the group is murdered and another barely escapes a serious auto accident, Genevieve O'Brien asks her friend, P.I. Joe Connolly, to investigate. She's afraid that her mother might be the next victim.

To add fun to the story, the author uses phrases and titles of Poe's works as she leads us through the story. In one scene, a psychic tells of imagining the man who caused the auto accident and then adds, that one word stayed in her mind, 'nevermore.'

Joe works the case and gets help from people who have died, including his cousin and his cousin's fiance.

The story is a quick read and doubly fun when you add in the show more author's play on words. The killer is trying to make his crimes mirror Poe's stories. show less

Not great. Expected more from a Heather Graham book. Slow start. Uninteresting characters.
