Bump In The Night

by J.D. Robb, Mary Blayney, Ruth Ryan Langan, Mary Kay McComas



      Each tale in this book is different in its style, location, etc, but the one thing they all have in common is their more-than-attainable goal of capturing a reader's interest.

In Robb's Haunted In Death, police Lt. Eve Dallas is on the trail of another killer. This time the clues point to someone who has been dead for a long time. Eve doesn't believe in ghosts, and that belief (or lack of it) leads to some disagreement with her better half, the handsome and rich Roarke. The closer she gets to the elusive suspect, the more entangled Eve becomes in the spirit world. Characters from other Death Series books help Eve on her quest to capture a killer who is and isn't out of her world.

Poppy's Coin by Blayney is a tender regency romance that uses a magical coin and a ghost from the past to tell the tale of romance in a bygone era. Retired Army Major David Lindsey needs money to support his new family -a delightful girl named Poppy, and his unknown son. Poppy strives to lighten his distress by presenting him with what she calls "a magical coin." If he makes a wish and the coin grows warm in his palm, then that wish will come true. David does, and then he meets Lady Grace Anderson. She is an answer to his heart and prayers.

Josh Cramer has done it all -he's a sports maniac and takes dares, even when it could cost him his life. His latest claim to fame sends him into the abyss of paranormal when his plane spends out of control and a ghostly passenger hitches a ride. He wakes from the jaws of death to the comfort of photojournalist Grace Marin. Their time together at Spirit Lake is spent in searching for the mystical lights some say are the ghost of a woman who lost at the game of love. Grace and Josh discover that their pasts and futures are linked to this ghostly apparition in Langan's The Passenger.

Charlotte Gibson is beginning to think she's crazy. Of course just burying her father could do that to a girl, but the handsome hunk that no one else can see is a threat to her well-being, her mind, and her heart. "Mel," as he tells her to call him, claims he is her imaginary friend from childhood. He is there to push her to live her own life, but for the life of Charlotte all she wants to do is go to bed with him -a no-no according to Mel. What she does do once Mel gives her a makeover is discover that life can be full of love and romance.
