    About this audiobook

    1777: In the throes of the Revolutionary War, Landon Mansion is commandeered by British Lord "Butcher" Bedford. He stabs Lucy Tarleton—who spurned his king and his love—leaving her to die in her father's arms.

    NOW: After the day's final tour, docent Allison Leigh makes her rounds while locking up...and finds a colleague slumped over Bedford's desk, impaled on his own replica bayonet.

    Resident ghosts may be the stock-in-trade of stately Philadelphia homes, but Allison—a noted historian—is indignant at the prospect of "ghost hunters" investigating this apparent murder.

    Agent Tyler Montague knows his hauntings and his history. But while Allison is skeptical of the newcomer, a second mysterious murder occurs. Has "Butcher" Bedford resurfaced? Or is there another malevolent force at work in Landon Mansion? Wary, yet deeply attracted, Allison has to trust in Tyler and work with him to discover just what uninvited guest—dead or alive—has taken over the house.

    Or their lives could become history!

      Ghosts,history and murder brings the Krewe to a mansion in Philadelphia
    • 5/5
      This author always takes me on an extraordinary journey into the depths of history with a paranormal twist... This read was no exception; immersing her readers in the time of the Revolutionary War and adding a devastating ghostly tale, Heather Graham compiles a story that holds an intriguing mystery while giving the chill factor of a solid ghost story... I enjoy each book in this series and eagerly anticipate the next one:)
      Again, I will say that! Loved the history and detail of the area, country, and family takes on histories. The blend of romance and ghosts added to a fun story full of the Texas Krewe. The ghosts were very entertaining in this story and it was great touching base with the rest of the Texas Crewe as we did not see them much in the last book. I can’t wait for the next story, especially since we learned more about Jane and her backstory this time around.
    • 3/5
      3.5
      I think the impression these stories leave depends on the theme. I like those with more detailed American history. Like this one.

      Even though Allison Leigh was very annoying for almost one third of the book, I liked this story a lot. The setting is Philadelphia and Landon Mansion, a place where a young woman was killed in 1777.

      Allison is a historian and she works as one of the tour guides at the mansion. She is the last one to leave and she finds her colleague dead in the room that belonged to British Lord "Beast" Bedford.

      Adam Harrison makes an appearance here. He only appeared in the first book so far. Since one of the board members is his friend, Tyler was sent to check what is going on. One of the reasons Allison was really annoying was because she was more than rude to Tyler while he stayed polite. She changed later and the story was quite enjoyable. The parts with history combined with the Lucy's story were done really well.

      Even the ghosts are more interesting. One of them even had a sense of humour.

      "No, I was walking along feeling sorry for myself, trying to sidle up next to people I passed on the street. I think I gave a few of them chills," he said, chortling to himself.

      As usual, the story is more suspense/mystery focused than romance focused, even though the romance is better than in some of the previous books. Or a former Texas Ranger is enough to make it better.

      Book 8 in the Krewe of Hunters series. This story takes place in Philadelphia where the 2nd team of the Krewe of Hunters is called in because of a death at the Tarleton-Dandridge House. Docent Allison Leigh discovers a body after she closes the house for the day. Tyler Montague from the Krewe is sent to investigate to see if there is something unusual going on in the house or was this death an accident or a suicide. Lots of interesting history on the Revolutionary War and of course the twists and turns of a good mystery. This is a good series and I like this story very much. I wanted to keep reading.
    • 3/5
      The liberties taken with history I’m okay with. The liberties taken with the description of Old City Philadelphia I am NOT.
    • 3/5
      I didn't like this one as well as the others in the series. I think it was just me. A lot of history in this one, which I liked and it was related to the story line.
    • 4/5
      This story surrounds the Tarleton-Dandridge House in Philadelphia where in 1777 Patriot Lucy Tarleton was killed by her British lover, Lord Bedford. At least that's what history tells us. In present day Allison Leigh a docent of the house is about to encounter death, murder, ghosts and one seriously hunky Agent Tyler Montague.The Uninvited was an excellent read. I loved the background and history. Allison & Tyler are quite an interesting pair. The romance was slow going, but definitely worth the wait. Between the house, past and present death all made a great mystery. I thought for sure I knew who did it, but I was so shocked at the reveal. I was way off. Ms Graham is a grand storyteller.

      I read the first book in this series and then for whatever reason never got to any of the others until I saw this one. Overall a fun book filled with well-rounded characters, ghosts, murders, history and some romance that will keep you reading until the end. Also, it is not necessary to have read the previous books. One of those guilty pleasure series ;)
    • 5/5
      In Graham’s paranormal mystery novel, docent Allison Leigh makes her rounds following the final tour of the day of Landon Mansion locking up as she goes along only to stumble upon the body of a colleague slumped over, impaled on a bayonet. Allison, a historian by trade, doesn’t believe in ghosts and is stunned to learn that “ghost-hunters” will be investigating what appears to be a murder.Agent Tyler Montague is knowledgeable of both history and hauntings. While Alison is skeptical and uncertain of the investigation methods, another murder occurs. Are there ghosts haunting Landon Mansion? Or is there another malevolent force hard at work? While Alison fights an attraction to Tyler, they team together to find the answers before they become nothing more than history themselves.As always, Heather Graham can weave a yarn that keeps readers hanging on for a more. A fabulous addition to the Krewe of Hunters series.
