Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Graham's latest romantic suspense novel is the first of a trilogy set in the fantasy-drenched world of TV soap operas. When Hollywood legend Abby Sawyer develops severe Parkinson's disease, her daughter, soap star Jennifer Connolly, moves into the historic but slightly creepy Granger House to be by her side. What Jennifer doesn't know is that Abby's stepson, actor Conar MarkhamAa longtime thorn in Jennifer's sideAis not only going to be starring opposite her on the soap but is living in Granger House as well. Abby has secretly contrived Conar's new role to make it possible for him to watch over Jennifer, whom Abby is convinced is in danger from a threatening stalker. Naturally, Conar and Jennifer's sudden togetherness generates both conflict and sexual tension. When the soap's producers stage a Hitchcockian shower scene that eerily mimics a rash of real serial killings, matters come to a head. Graham (Tall, Dark, and Deadly) cleverly brings together classic elements of B-movie suspense (from secret stairways to screams in the night) with an appealing, if not entirely accurate, look behind the Hollywood set. The mystery plot, however, lacks both cohesiveness and tensionAdespite Abby's oft-repeated worries, Jennifer is never directly in peril until very late in the bookAand there's little true conflict in the romance, leaving it rather flat as well.

All Heather Graham books are excellent. You'll like them

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016

Heather Graham is a good writer. Her books give you enjoyment. Keep your mind working besides touches of history, descriptions of life in various areas of Florida, the south and up the east coast. Her women are always beautiful and the men extra attractive. Strong women with strong wills but men that are confident, caring and physically & mentally up to handling everything.
All her books are 'up' with conversations that make you smile and endearing characters. But it is always something to solve. Who is the bad guy, how will it be solved, ... right up to the last pages. I'm good at figuring things out but she always has a few extra twists that surprise me. I put down each book and find myself wishing there were more pages.

Typical Heather Graham Fare

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2020

Graham doesn't disappoint in the suspense category....not your page turning type of suspense...just continued wondering who can it be. The interaction between the male and female lead got a little tedious at times due to the on again, off again, relationship issues but if you can get past that, the story will hold your interest. As I said, typical Heather Graham fare.
