The middle brother, he was once a police diver but quit when the last straw was when a drunk foster father drove the family into the river, drowning everyone inside. Jeremy had rescued Billy, who had been still alive when found, but pronounced at the hospital DOA. The foster children had all been tied in the back o More...

The heroine of this book, Rowenna, is described as a "stunning woman. Her hair was nearly pitch-black, her eyes strikingly amber. ... Amber, like gold, and shaded by ridiculously thick lashes. She was both tall and slim, but curved in every place where a woman should have curves." O RLY, Heather Graham? Just this once, you couldn't skip the boobs and hips and make her tall, thin, gawky, and lanky? If all of your book's heroines have bodies like this, why don't they make sensible care More...

Jeremy Flynn is a private investigator who is trying to locate his friend Brad's missing wife. Jeremy is a skeptic who refuses to believe in anything paranormal despite his being shadowed by the ghost of Billy, the young child whose death caused him to leave his job as a police diver when he pulled Billy out of the river too late to save him.
Rowena Cavanaugh doesn't see herself as a psychic. She says she just puts herself in the shoes of the victim and can then give probabilities for wh More...

The 2nd book that I am reviewing is Deadly Harvest by Heather Graham and is the second book in the Flynn brothers trilogy. In Deadly Harvest, Jeremy (another Flynn brother) is trying to help his good friend find his missing wife with the help of a possible pyschic named Rowenna. This was the perfect read for me right now as it was set in the fall and talked about the cooler weather and the leaves changing. Plus, it had the scary legend of the Harvest Man who was thought to be a killer coming bac More...

Heather Graham so far has a double play with "Deadly Night" and "Deadly Harvest", I loved the subtle play with the paranormal during the plot line filled with suspense and mystery. I can't wait till I read "Deadly Gift", (which I get a copy of tomorrow). If the third installment lives up to the first 2, Heather Graham will have reached that pinnacle of praises, it will end up on my re-read shelf which only the best of the best goes! :)

I liked this book more than the first book, Deadly Night. I felt the action was pumped up, the drama was pumped up. I liked the characters more.

Jeremy Flynn, the middle Flynn brother, has come up to MA to help his friend and ex-partner find his missing wife. While there he and the woman he swore to himself that he should stay away from, Rowenna, become involved in an investigation on a larger scale than they had initially expected.

The female lead, Rowenna, who may or may More...

He is joined in his search by Rowenna Cavannaugh, a native of Salem who occasionally aids local law enforcement with her psychic visions. Although Jeremy doesn't believe in Rowenna's visions, he is strongly attracted to her, and together they work to unravel the legend of the "Harvest Man", a serial killer who has visited Salem before and may have something to do wit More...

This is book 2 of the Flynn brothers trilogy. It's about Jeremy Flynn, the middle brother. He starts out by fighting an attraction to a woman he considers a flake: Rowenna Cavanaugh, an author who writes non-fiction about all things psychic. Jeremy gets a call from his ex-partner (he used to be a police diver) who is frantic about his missing wife, and he rushes off to Salem, Massachusetts to help. Rowena, a native and sometime resident of Salem, is also on her way home. She's gotten a call from More...

Heather Graham follows Nora Robert's successful formula of writing a trilogy of books, about 3 brothers, with supernatural elements. Felt like I was reading Nora Roberts. Plots of all 3 books feel contrived and forced; characters are interchangeable.

This book was very much like the first one in the trilogy. Different characters, different location but same 'formula'. Hope the 3rd is better.

I didn't find it up to her usual standard, guessing the identity of the "Big Bad" at first appearance.

I read Deadly Night back at the end of last year when it came out and I really enjoyed the characters. It was one of the first books I read that had ghosts in it - especially ghosts that help the living. The story stuck with me and when I found that it was a trilogy, I was knew I'd be reading the next 2 as well. The Flynn Brothers are likeable and I like that each book centers around each 1 of the brothers. More...

Ok. I liked the characters but the relationships were a bit more forced than in the first one. This would have been really great if it had been more focused, many of the characters are just thrown into situations that don't work well and make the whole scene more wierd than the storyline itself. I liked the idea of the book, pegan rites, sacrificial bodies tossed in corn fields, and paranormal activity but it could have been better. I think the first Flynn book was less of a disappointment.

Heather Graham is one of my favorite authors to learn from and as one of the founding members of my local writer's group, it's great to read her work as well. This book is a perfect blend of thriller, paranormal and yes romance as well. The cover makes it appear like a horror novel, but if horror is not your thing I would definitely give it a chance. It's based around Salem and thankfully not witches, but a cooler creepy legend called the Harvest Man. A good read, couldn't put it down in the end More...

3,5.

Dari segi cover,cwok d buku ini jauh lebih cakep drpd cwok d book 1 (gak penting bangeeeet).

Dr segi crita,perasaan kok lebih seru/mencekam buku 1 ya.Mgkin krn buku ini hmpir sm dg buku sblmnya.Cweknya sama2 pnya indra k-6 dan sama2 mengalami mimpi2 tt hal2 yg brkaitan dg pembunuhan berantai.

Klo d Deadly Night bnyk hantu yg nongol,d buku ini cm ad Billy seorang.Kurang serem aaaaaah.....

Tapi brhub buku ini brgenre suspense,tetep aja asik me-nebak

Another fantastic read, this is #2 in the Flynn trilogy. You may remember from book #1 that Aidan, Jeremy and Zach Flynn are all private investigators who recently "relocated" to New Orleans after inheriting an old plantation.

This story begins in New Orleans, but quickly relocates to Salem, MA @ Halloween after Mary Johnstone (a friend of Jeremy's) disappears in a cemetery.

It's salem -- so there are witches, wiccan's and more interesting characters to support t

I liked this book because they went to Salem and had breakfast a lot at Red's. They do have really good breakfast at Red's.
Also, when the hero advised the heroine to just go to one of the shops and pick up a change of clothes, she laughed at him. I laughed at him. We laughed a lot at the notion that there are no jeans, just silk blouses and some really nice capes.
The details were good.

This book was as good as the first book in this trilogy. The main characters where very believable...the scenes were very well described...felt like I was really there and even got the creeps a few times. I could feel the anxiety and concern in all the characters to find the missing women. Would recombend it to anyone who like a paranormal/mystery with a little bit of a love story thrown in for good measure.

This is the second book in her "Flynn Brothers" trilogy, and like the first book, Heather Graham did not disappoint. I love her murder mysteries - they truly do have the scare factor, along with mixing in some romance. She also introduces so many potential suspects, you are constantly guessing who the killer is, but are usually incorrect. I'm looking forward to reading the third and final book in the series!

I've read a number of Graham's books before and I've never been this disappointed. First, as a "trilogy" ... well, it's not. The only thing tying this to the first book is that the characters have brothers -- but that's so peripheral to the story. This book was formulaic, the characters were two-dimensional (if we were lucky), and full of the "tell, don't show" style of writing. I'm disgruntled enough I might not pick up the third book.

The second in the Flynn Brothers series. A much better read than "Deadly Night." Cornfields, Scarecrows, murdered women. Who was next? Was the last woman dead or alive. Romance, mystery, murder, what a combination. Looking to read the last one in the series.

This is the second book in the Flynn series...so far the first one was better. The plot and paranormal scenes are okay but the relationships are yuckie...bad...I just don't get them.

I'm starting book three now...I hope this one is better.

Enjoyed this one as much as the first! Very creepy with the ghosts, cemeteries, and the Harvest Man. The setting of Salem, MA added a lot to the story, just like the New Orleans setting in the first. I wish there had been slightly more romance in it, though.

Favorite of the trilogy! I should mention that Graham needs a little work on her romance part of the stories. They aren't as detailed as others (i.e. Nora Roberts) However, I like the L&O feel.

I had a hard time working up any interest in these characters. I've read the 1st and 2nd book in the series and have decided to skip the 3rd. They just aren't that interesting.
