Wicked Deeds

Wicked Deeds by Heather Graham (Book 23 of the Krewe of Hunters series) 315 pages

Vickie and Preston are on their way to Virginia where Vickie will start training as an FBI agent and a member of the Krewe of Hunters.  They decide to spend the weekend in Baltimore to relax, but the murder of a popular author in the wine cellar of a Poe-themed restaurant where they had dinner the night before changes their plans.  The appearance of Poe in his ghostly form invades Vickie’s dreams and her waking hours.  He wants to know who is killing, using his stories as inspiration.  This popular series follows a special unit who use FBI methods, but also paranormal visits from ghosts and spirits to solve crimes.  This is the third book following Vickie and Preston, which has given us more time to get to know these two.  While some of the steps seem a little convoluted, I enjoyed the parallel investigation into both the current murder and to Poe’s death.
