Evil Inside, The
By Heather Graham
This is a murder mystery suspense novel with paranormal elements and romance.
Samuel Hall returns during his successful stint as a defense attorney to Salem Massachusetts. Driving into the outskirts of town he nearly runs into a young seventeen-year-old boy. Uninjured, but in shock, Malachi Smith is covered in blood. It isn’t his. It is the victims of his family brutally murdered just hours earlier.
FBI Agent Jenna Duffy would welcome any opportunity to return to Salem, the home of many of her favorite childhood memories. So when her Uncle Jamie, a child psychiatrist, turns on the Irish charm, she suspects he has an alternative motive. He quickly introduces Sam and Jenna, and calls in the second half of his plan. The boy needs a good attorney, and Sam is the best. They make a great team. Uncle Jamie believes unequivocally in the Malachi’s innocence, Sam is a local man who rose to fame, and Jenna has the connections by her post to the FBI and her ability to see ghosts.
Only good detective word will get boy acquitted in a court of law, but the ghosts know the answers if they were forthcoming. They’re not always easy to understand and their means at times make her sicker than a dog, but might be the only ones keeping her alive when the real murder stalks her.
Miss Graham has done it again with Evil Inside. She wrote a detailed, suspense driven novel that kept me turning the pages until the killer and motive was revealed. In this case, the evil inside is not just the house that has been the scene of multiple murders over the centuries, but also the cruelty and hatred people can harbor. I can never get my fill of stories about Salem. It is rich in historical material with witchcraft, murder and ghosts.
