Can the same killer strike again–a hundred and fifty years later? Estes Park, Colorado, is a place of serenity. But it wasn’t always so serene. Shortly after the Civil War, Nathan Kendall and his wife were murdered there, leaving behind a young son. The crime was never solved. Now…historian Scarlet Barlow is working at a small museum attached to a B and B, the same building where that murder … building where that murder occurred. She recently came to Colorado, reeling after her divorce from FBI agent Diego McCullough. Diego–who’s just been asked to join the Krewe of Hunters, a unit dealing with “unusual” situations… When Scarlet unwittingly takes pictures of people who’ve been murdered–just like the Kendalls a hundred and fifty years before–the police look at her with suspicion. Then the museum’s statues of historic people, including Nathan Kendall, begin to talk to her, and she knows it’s time to call her ex-husband. Diego heads to Estes Park, determined to solve the bizarre case that threatens Scarlet’s life–and to reunite with the woman he never stopped loving.

Another Krew story, this one set in Colorado, makes me want to visit Estes Park not just for a visit to The Stanley.
I LOVE Heather Graham’s Krewe of Hunters Series. But, can I just say, Mira Books needs to fire their copy editors. There are so many typos, left-out words, missing punctuation, and grammatical errors in this book and in this last several books, they could have been printed by a first-grader! This seems to be happening more and more these days. I can’t help but wonder why, and be more than a little frustrated by it. It throws you out of the story when you have to decipher what the author is trying to convey because a word or mark of punctuation was omitted. And, to these copy editors, take a little pride in your work! This is your job and you get paid to do it…so do it! Stop counting on spell check to do it for you!
Ok, I’m off my soap box now.
Scarlet is a curator at a small museum in Colorado. She snaps pictures of an elk against a gorgeous backdrop, but when she shows the pictures to the museum owner, Ben, they’re both shocked to discover dead bodies instead. After a few other odd incidents, Scarlet decides to call her ex-husband, Diego, to help her out of the tough situation. He arrives with his fellow team members in tow to crack not only the current murder case -and more-but also the 150 year old unsolved murder that may have triggered the current spree.
I always know I’m in for the unusual and suspenseful whenever I dive in to a Krewe book and The Hidden delivered! I liked the variety of ghosts, giving me a bit of chills in one moment and then rolling my eyes and laughing the next. Actually the ghosts were my favorite part of the entire book, including the romance! They provided comic relief and more clues than anyone else. The cast of suspects was pretty wide and very interesting too. I found myself waffling back and forth before settling on suspects. I was right and wrong, but that was also half the fun! This was a good read and I can’t wait to continue with this series.
I joked with my hubs that this book sucked me in like a tractor beam but it really did. I love second chance stories but you throw in a few ghosts, some hottie FBI agents and history delivered in a non boring way and it’s even better!
I haven’t read one of Heather Graham’s books in a long time, and this reading this one reminded me of why I enjoyed her books so much in the past. It has mystery, romance, paranormal activity, and great characters. I read a lot of mysteries, and I actually didn’t figure this one out before the end. I thought I had, and was surprised when the killer was revealed.
This was a fun installment in Graham’s Krewe of Hunters series, and I highly recommend it.
