A review by etoiline
The Uninvited by Heather Graham

4.0

This is the third Heather Graham book I've read in as many months, but despite some trends (and who doesn't want some trends in a series?) it was still a fun read. This one has a little more emphasis on the ghostly characters than the other two that I've read, which was a nice change. I liked the historical setting; as with the previous novels I've read, it's clear that Graham has done her research and didn't just pick a random historical house to write about. I figured out some of the twists early on, and the bad guy reveal felt a little rushed, but overall this was a good addition to the series. Sometimes the protagonist seemed a little hysterical compared to other Graham leading ladies, but she firmed up during the story and stopped annoying me so much. I'd like to think that I would react favorably to finding out that ghosts are real and can talk to us if they want to, so maybe I'm just projecting. Graham comes up with clever methods to dispatch characters, and this book does not disappoint. This book carries over some of the Krewe we've met in previous books, but doesn't connect to the previous two (no mummies in an American historial mansion!), but all the familiar elements of a Graham novel are there, so fans won't be disappointed.
