Uh oh. I don’t like tight spaces, but it looks like I will have to get over it in order to read A Perfect Obsession by Heather Graham…and I will.
MY REVIEW
There is never any doubt, when it comes to Heather Graham, that I will grab her book without hesitation. Even a bad book by Heather Graham is a good book and I would definitely recommend A Perfect Obsession.
Kieran Finnegan, a psychologist, also works at the family pub and shares a bed with her FBI guy, Craig Frasier. He knows to keep tabs on her because trouble seems to find her…or does she find it?
A model/actress was murdered just around the corner from Finnegan’s, but nobody thought it was connected to the family…until her brother, Kevin, told her his secret.
Someone wanted her found.
“Living art.”
It’s easy to figure out that Kieran is Irish. She has three brothers. They are quick to defend and protect her, since she’s prone to finding trouble to get into.
We have a headstrong woman, a hunky cop, mystery and dead bodies on display in mausoleums that haven’t seen the light of day in decades, but…
I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’m just not getting into this like I do most of her work. Am I having an off day? Or is it because it’s an ARC and will be tidied up before publishing. I think it will get better. You’ll need to check out A Perfect Obsession to figure it out for yourself.
I feel on edge. I keep thinking…waiting…for “the moment”…when the monster reaches out from under the bed and grabs me.
Heather has created a sense of menace from the serial killer. I can’t put my finger on the villain. Have I met him?
Uh Oh. I think I know who it is and we have a big problem.
I started out having a hard time getting into the story. I don’t know why. It has all the elements I require for a thrilling read. I rarely give up on a book, and I sure wasn’t going to give up on a Heather Graham book. And it is worth sticking with. As usual, she leaves me wanting more and I can hardly wait to pick up another one of her stories.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of A Perfect Obsession by Heather Graham.

GOODREADS BLURB
Someone is murdering beautiful young women in the New York area and displaying them in mausoleums and underground tombs. The FBI is handling the case, with Special Agent Craig Frasier as lead.
Kieran Finnegan, forensic psychologist and part owner of Finnegan’s, her family’s pub, is consulting on the case. Craig and Kieran are a couple who’ve worked together on more than one occasion. On this occasion, though, Craig fears for the safety of the woman he loves. Because the killer is too close. The body of a young model is found in a catacomb under a two-hundred-year-old church, now deconsecrated and turned into a nightclub. A church directly behind Finnegan’s in lower Manhattan.
As more women are murdered, their bodies discovered in underground locations in New York, it’s clear that the police and the FBI are dealing with a serial killer. Craig and Kieran are desperate to track down the murderer, a man obsessed with female perfection. Obsessed enough to want to “preserve” that beauty by destroying the women who embody it”.

MY HEATHER GRAHAM REVIEWS
It’s been a while since I haven’t read a book from the author but they usually are a hit or miss for me
I love Heather. I got to meet her one year at a convention in Vegas. She has never disappointed me. Happy reading and have a wonderful holiday, Melliane.
I read one of her books many years ago, but I remember really liking it. I need to read more. And I love when there are protective brothers involved.
She never fails to entertain me. Hope you get a chance to read it.
Oh, a new one by Heather. And it sounds spicy and fun. Great review, Sherry. Me wants this book. LOL
Heather is always a good read for me.
