HummmSadly this was to similar to its counterpart for me to enjoy. Man, woman, don't like each other, ons, murder, mystery, damsel in distress.... Yer all very similar. Sad as well because I liked the first one.
Mary and Brad Johnstone are in Salem, Massachusetts, taking a vacation as they try to patch up their marriage. While they are there they see the sights and end up getting a reading at the psychic fair by a strange man wearing a turban who has a very real looking crystal ball…in it they see many things, including cornfields and corpses. The man freaks them out and makes Brad angry and they leave. Later that night, while visiting a cemetery, Mary disappears and hasn’t been heard from since. A dist...
Perfect read if you want to get in the Halloween mood! The story is based in Salem Mass which made me want to travel there one day even more than I already did to see where the Witchcraft Trials took place in. This story has a mixture of legend folklore and ghosts & of course cornfields which are creepy. Why? Hello do you remember Children of the Corn?!!! They live in those fields! I didn't feel like I missed anything in not reading the other books in the trilogy. Highly recommended for Hallowee...
Well, not what I expected but…it fit for Halloween. Rowenna is a psychic who helps the Salem police dept with investigations. Jeremy is a private detective who decides to help in an investigation of a missing person in Salem. They come together to help figure out who is killing women and putting them out in cornfields as dead scarecrows. I had no idea it was book 2 in a series but you don’t need to have read book 1 to read this one. It was ok, not great. Especially if you are used to reading hor...
The only reason it took me so long to finish it, is because I didn't have time to actually "read" a book lately...
A legend/myth brought to life by a madman…Jeremy Flynn, a serious man who doesn’t believe in what he can’t see or touch, is a private investigator with his brothers’ firm. The middle brother, he was once a police diver but quit when the last straw was when a drunk foster father drove the family into the river, drowning everyone inside. Jeremy had rescued Billy, who had been still alive when found, but pronounced at the hospital DOA. The foster children had all been tied in the back of the van; n...
Private investigator and ex-cop Jeremy Flynn goes to Salem, Massachusetts, to help his former partner and friend, Brad, whose wife has mysteriously gone missing. Brad and his wife were vacationing in Salem and visiting one of the historic cemeteries when she disappeared without a trace. Also helping out is Rowenna Cavanaugh who is an acquaintance of Jeremy. She doesn't consider herself a psychic, yet she sometimes feels and knows certain things that can't be explained, and she has proved useful
The heroine of this book, Rowenna, is described as a "stunning woman. Her hair was nearly pitch-black, her eyes strikingly amber. ... Amber, like gold, and shaded by ridiculously thick lashes. She was both tall and slim, but curved in every place where a woman should have curves." O RLY, Heather Graham? Just this once, you couldn't skip the boobs and hips and make her tall, thin, gawky, and lanky? If all of your book's heroines have bodies like this, why don't they make sensible career choices l...
Not the best Heather Graham I've read, but still a good solid mystery. I did like Rowenna and Jeremy, but I enjoyed the first book the best. Glad to get out of New Orleans. Salem can be very spooky, but the author doesn't mention the really horrible part -- the driving/parking... I refuse to believe they could get around so easily. Especially at a holiday. But authors do like poetic license.
A fun October read! Perfect setting: Salem at Halloween. The spirit of the Harvest Man is killing young women in preparation for the big takeover by....who else.....Satan himself. Light and thoroughly enjoyable, if you like the subjects, which I do, especially in Halloween season. Nothing too scary or gory, just good ol' supernatural thrills with some romance thrown in. I confess, though, that it did make me sentimental for the days of my youth spent in the exquisite New England foliage!!
Private Investigator Jeremy Flynn is contacted by his former partner, Brad Johnstone, when Brad's wife mysteriously disappears from a cemetery in Salem, MA. When Jeremy arrives he finds Brad is a suspect in his wife's disappearance, and local resident Rowenna Cavanaugh believes someone may be impersonating the Harvest Man. Soon Rowenna and Jeremy discover a body hung in a cornfield like a scarecrow, and they're afraid that Mary Johnstone may have been taken by the same killer.This is the second
Heather Graham so far has a double play with "Deadly Night" and "Deadly Harvest", I loved the subtle play with the paranormal during the plot line filled with suspense and mystery. I can't wait till I read "Deadly Gift", (which I get a copy of tomorrow). If the third installment lives up to the first 2, Heather Graham will have reached that pinnacle of praises, it will end up on my re-read shelf which only the best of the best goes! :)
I didn't find it up to her usual standard, guessing the identity of the "Big Bad" at first appearance.
This one will have you questioning your opinions on the supernatural and ghosts. Woman are disappearing without a trace. Rowenna Cavanaugh is having strange dreams that are coming true and Jeremy Flynn is seeing a young boy who he knows is dead. they all work together to find the wife of Jeremy's best friend.
A wonderful Fall book. Was blindsided by the ending.
This is book two of the Flynn Bother's trilogy. This one takes place in Salem Massachusetts, and the legend of the Harvest Man. The wife of Jeremy Flynn's ex police partner has gone missing and Jeremy heads to Salem to help find her. Together him and Rowenna Cavanaugh set out to find the missing Mary, and find a body posed as a scarecrow. I really enjoyed this one, the history and storytelling was great. It had a lot of twists and turns and red herrings. I actually thought I had the baddie figur...
I've read a number of Graham's books before and I've never been this disappointed. First, as a "trilogy" ... well, it's not. The only thing tying this to the first book is that the characters have brothers -- but that's so peripheral to the story. This book was formulaic, the characters were two-dimensional (if we were lucky), and full of the "tell, don't show" style of writing. I'm disgruntled enough I might not pick up the third book.
This book was very much like the first one in the trilogy. Different characters, different location but same 'formula'. Hope the 3rd is better.
I expected much more creepy content as this book started out feeling like the movie 'Jeepers Creepers'.I had high hopes for the setting also and I feel like it just didn't deliver.Although it didn't even touch what it could have been, it was an okay read. Definitely recommend as a Halloween themed book to read.
A little predictable, but some clever aspects, and wonderful characters with plenty of excitement made for a good read!Just after Halloween, a woman is found dead in a cornfield, made to look like a scarecrow with a slashed grin and a broken neck. When another woman goes missing just steps away from her husband, who's now crazed with panic, and the local police think he's the prime suspect, he calls on his friend, former police diver Jeremy Flynn for help finding his wife.But this is Salem, Mass...
