Haunted Destiny

Starred review from May 1, 2016
Graham launches a new sequence in her popular Krewe of Hunters series (Phantom Evil, 2011) with a chase through New Orleans that has FBI agent Jude McCoy boarding the historic cruise ship Destiny. He is in hot pursuit of the Archangel, a serial killer who poses each of his victims in a church with the medallion of a saint on his or her body. Jude has been assigned to work the case with Jackson Crow, head of an elite paranormal division of the FBI known as the Krewe of Hunters. As entertainer Alexi Cromwell performs on board, she sees the ghosts of the dead all around her. One is a victim of the Archangel, and he seems to be trying to tell her something. When Jude and Alexi meet, there is an instant attraction, but a shipboard romance is the last thing either of them are looking for. Now Jude, Jackson, and Alexi are in a deadly race against the clock to narrow down the suspect list before the killer strikes again. Graham is a master at world building, and her latest is a thrilling, dark, and deadly tale of romantic suspense. Subsequent installments are on the horizon.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
