I love this series and glad I got Barb to start reading it. These are rereads for me right now till we get farther into the series but that is okay as I don't remember much...lol. After seeing my thoughts, go on over to Booker T's Farm and see what my friend Barb had to say.
The 1940s: hard-boiled detectives and femmes fatale are box-office gold. In one iconic scene, set in a deserted museum, the private eye arrives too late, and the buxom beauty is throttled by an ominous Egyptian priest.
Now: the Black Box Cinema immortalizes Hollywood's Golden Age in its gallery of film noir tributes. But the mannequin of that Egyptian priest is hardly lifeless. He walks and a young starlet dies a terrifying death. Movie mogul Eddie Archer's son is charged with the grisly murder.
Eddie calls agent Sean Cameron, who specializes in irregular investigations. As part of an FBI paranormal forensics team, Cameron knows that nightmares aren't limited to the silver screen. Working with special-effects artist Madison Darvil who has her own otherworldly gifts Cameron delves into the malevolent force animating more than one movie monster.
So, this one is centered around the remake of an old detective movie, and a young man gets talked into taking a young woman who wanted to go behind the scenes and while there she is killed, and he is knocked around and wakes up bloody and accused of murder.
He is the son of the man who owns the Cinema and Eddie knows one of the agents from the Krewe of Hunters because Sean use to work in films before being recruited by the Krewe. Eddie also wants his special-effects lady Madison to work with him because he knows that she can see ghost and also that is what the Krewe is known for.
So, Sean and Madison have to try and figure out what happened and how all this happened and then eventually Sean's team comes into help as well.
I really liked this one, I liked both Sean and Madison. One of the fun things about Madison is that a ghost that has been hanging out with her since her college days is Humphrey Bogart and he even tries to help out with the new ghost who is the victim and help her.
I could only remember one of the persons involved in what happened but I couldn't remember the other killer so that is good as it was still kind of a surprise even thought it was a reread. If you like romantic mysteries that is light paranormal then you would like this series.
