HAUNTED is the fifteenth book in Kay Hooper's Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series but can easily be read as a standalone. Kay Hooper provides a list of the various FBI agents and their talents, while also noting which books the character previously appeared. There appears to be an ongoing story arc as there are references to events of prior books but Kay Hooper does a marvelous job at providing readers with all the backstory necessary in order to fully enjoy HAUNTED.
We meet a plethora of other characters in HAUNTED, some more involved in the storyline than others. I look forward to catching up with some of the earlier books I've missed reading in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit series as HAUNTED reminds me of just how much I enjoyed the books I have read in the series.
HAUNTED is a dark thriller that plunges readers into the disturbing side of the paranormal. However, Braden practically steals the show entirely in HAUNTED. Braden is Trinity's dog who cleverly assists the investigation. I hope we see him- and Trinity of course- in future investigations as they are a fascinating duo. HAUNTED is easily recommended!
Book Summary
How do you make peace with the dead if the dead aren’t ready to forgive? In New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper’s new novel, the answer lies in the twisting shadows of a small town, and its secrets yet unearthed...
When Deacon James’s younger sister Melanie calls him, terrified, he goes to her aid in the small Georgia town of Sociable. What he finds is a scared young woman in the grip of what she insists is a paranormal nightmare—and murder. Two local men have been killed under mysterious circumstances. And Melanie is the prime suspect.
Trinity Nichols left a high-stress job for quiet, small- town life. But news of the murders has left her—and the town—on edge, especially when there is nothing remotely ordinary about how the men died. And her investigation is yielding more than she bargained for, including a group of strangers who have descended on Sociable, some with abilities Trinity finds hard to believe, and agendas she refuses to trust. For some reason, they know a lot more than they should about what’s happening in town. And what’s happening is growing stranger by the minute.
Now Trinity, Deacon, and this odd band of FBI agents must work together to solve a series of disturbances so incredible that Trinity, and the town of Sociable, will be changed forever. She just isn’t certain who—or what—will be left standing when it’s all over.
