A ‘hauntingly’ good mystery.
Aidan and his two brothers, Jeremy and Zachary, have inherited an old plantation in New Orleans from an aunt they didn’t even know existed. The Flynn plantation has a hauntingly sad but beautiful back-story. Their ancestors have been depicted in the history books as two cousins who killed each other over a woman. Later, the story is cleared up do to an old diary. Seems they hadn’t killed each other over a woman, but rather a case of mistaken identiy while More...

Captivating mystery with a subtle ghost story woven in. My first guess as to who did it turned out to be correct, although she managed to throw me off guard and seriously consider 3 other suspects at various points in the book. But even better than the fact that she kept me guessing throughout the book is the fact that she put the main characters lives in danger and created a real sense of dread.
This didn't work for me as a romance (which is why I didn't check that cateogry), possibly More...

Graham provides her readers with a real thrill-ride in this supernatural story of suspense. Supported by well-developed characters and beautiful French Quarter landscapes, the storyline is steady in pace and keeps its readers hungry for more.

This book was entertaining to read, but I couldn't help but feel at times that I've seen better from Graham. Maybe my opinion is tainted after reading the truly horrible "Picture Me Dead" prior to reading this book. In any case, the book was entertaining to read & there's quite a bit of promise for this trilogy.
The story in this book focuses around the Flynn brother Aidan & the sexy shop owner Kendall. After a not so spectacular meeting, sparks fly between the two as Aidan More...

Good mystery with interesting characters.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
I usually don’t care for most mysteries but I liked this one. I enjoyed the story. There was an interesting collection of characters. I was intrigued with the local police and medical examiner who did not like and would not help Aidan. I wasn’t sure if this was because he was an outsider or some other reason. I was interested in Aidan’s search for knowledge about the two bones he found. I liked the way he followe More...

The first book that I am going to review is Deadly Night by Heather Graham and is the 1st book in her Flynn brothers trilogy. Graham was a new to me author that I found scanning the web and I picked this book out of the many she has written using Fantastic Fiction (I love that website!). Deadly Night introduces us to the three Flynn brothers with Aiden being the main focus of the story. Basically, the brothers learn that they have inherited a plantation in New Orleans from an unknown family memb

This tale is a bit obviously romantic for me, yet I find I want to spend my evening with it. And hey, why not occasionally read a book where the women are all too beautiful and good, the men virtually all tall and handsome (some dark, some not), and the strong-silent one is, predictably, caring and gentle, beneath his crusty exterior. Oh, and those who actually do get into bed are really good at it and enjoy it tremendously. Graham does drop enough hints to have you wondering who is actually the

I just finished this book last night, and I really liked it. I was expecting something totally different – I checked it out of the library in the Romance section. I wouldn’t classify this as a romance at all, I would say Mystery or Ghost/Paranormal. Either way, it was a really good book. There were lots of twists and turns to make you think the “villain” was this person or that person, I never figured out who it was until it said who it was. Very clever! And it wasn’t who I thought it would

It was a fun, paranormal mystery/romance story. I liked all the characters, including the side characters. The hero and the heroine had an all right chemistry. I'm not quite sure why the two of them ended up together (matters of the heart are not logical? adrenaline?), but I'm actually glad the author didn't feel the need to torture readers with hackneyed problems to keep them angry at each other until the last 10 pages.

I’m really into Heather Graham’s novels lately. The ones pertaining to the supernatural and murders, anyway. So when it comes to Deadly Night, I can say yes, I liked Deadly Night. I didn’t absolutely love it but I still thought it was a pretty good read.
I liked Kendall, she was a good main character who definitely had her flaws. The flaws were what made her character all the more realistic. Although I did think she seemed a bit too angry towards Aidan at some points. As for Aidan, I l More...

It seems as if a lot of the books I have read lately are set in New Orleans. I suppose that, having read the first book of The Flynn Brothers Trilogy, that I might chose the other two in the series.
It was fast paced, with some romance, history and mystery. I find that I usually cannot guess who the villain is, and I couldn't this time.
The characters are interesting, and are easy enough to keep straight, unlike some books.

The first of the Flynn Brothers Trilogy which centered on the older brother Aidan Flynn, who along with his younger brothers have inherited the ancestral plantation (complete with ghosts) from their recently departed relative, Amelia, in New Orleans.
The story was about treachery and ghosts helping the living to obtain justice and correcting the wrong.

Here's my final book review for 2011. Happy new year everyone. This is the first book of the Flynn brothers trilogy. Aidan and his two brothers inherit their old family plantation in New Orleans, post-Katrina, since their aunt died. When Aidan Flynn, PI, discovered a bone at the home, he began investigating this matter and discovers that it's from one of the missing women in the area. He also meets Kendall Montgomery, a psychic who sees the future and ghosts, and collides with her. Little did t

Gotta love anything set in New Orleans and Heather Graham does the city and it's mystique justice in the first of the Flynn Brothers trilogy. While Aiden Flynn and his brothers have just discovered they have inherited an old family plantation they find out that they not only have inherited the house but it's mystery, murder, and mayhem as well. Kendall is a local. She grew up in New Orleans, and while her degree in Psychology tells her that telling the future for paying customers is just a mat

When Aidan visits the house he discovers a human thigh bone. Aidan is a private investigator and wants to know where the bone came from. Kendall Montgomery stayed with Aidan's aunt the last few weeks of her life. She claimed to see ghosts at the end and that there was something evil on the grounds. Kendall at first w

"Deadly Night" is the first of a trilogy about three brothers who inherit property in post-hurricane New Orleans. Aidan Flynn, the oldest brother, is the protagonist in this book. He and his brothers are private investigators and run their own business. The locals are sure that the brothers will sell the property and are surprised when they learn that they plan to restore it instead. The house is, as is any respectable southern plantation home, haunted. On top of that, Aidan finds a hu

Wasn't sure if I would like this book when I picked it up. This is a new author for me and I am not a big paranormal book reader. So with these things holding me back I still decided to give it a chance...I am glad that I did. It turned out to be a real page turner. I had trouble putting it down at night to go to sleep and most of the time the housework just didn't get done because I had to find out what was going to happen next. I am for sure going to read the other two books in the trilog

I was surprised that the book did not knock my socks off or blow my mind way (just a play on words.) I have met Heather Graham at a convention and she is a most beautiful and talented woman. It is considered a Paranormal Thriller. It did leave me to try and guess who the serial killer was, but I thought the book lacked in making me anticipate. I was not at the edge of my seat. This is # 1 of a trilogy and I will try " Deadly Harvest."

LOVE IT!!!! Great trilogy. You need to have an open mind when reading her paranormal books. More with the ghosts would have been great. Also, this is a trilogy about three brothers, but the books are pretty independent. (Main characters in one book have minor roles in others.) I like how the female characters (in all her books I've read so far) aren't useless..week and whiny. They're strong minded and kick ass.

I enjoyed this story. Aiden's character I enjoyed because he was the naysayer who, in the end, comes to some very real actualizations about the paranormal . The romance comes slowly and awkwardly and that seems to work and add to the chemestry of the characters. This is worth the read if you're looking for something to occupy your mind for an afternoon or a weekend if you pick up all three...

My first Heather Graham book, and probably my last. I've listerally never read a book written entirely in passive voice before. It was the most unengaging book I've picked up this year.
If anyone knows of some winners Heather Graham has written, let me know. I'd be happy to give her another chance but I'm not picking up another one of her books of my own accord anytime soon.

This was romantic, suspenseful, with a little paranormal thrown in. Very entertaining. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I liked this one a lot, even though many people feel this trilogy is a weak one. The first of the series, I liked the plot and story line. It was tragic and creepy and a little historical, which I always like. Again, same complaint about the main characters rushing into a romance. But good mystery! It kept me guessing a little more on the killer than her last one.
