Graham’s Krewe is a special unit of the FBI, that utilizes the unique gifts of its crew and I love this paranormal element. Meg Murray has just graduated from the FBI Academy when her friend Lara goes missing. She is assigned to work the Krewe case and is partnered with senior agent Matt Bosworth. Both Meg and Matt have the ability to see the dead and their investigation soon finds them traveling from Harpers Ferry to Gettysburg.

The setting was wonderful and familiar, as I have visited quite a few of the historical sites and cemeteries mentioned. Graham always weaves in local lore and history her series, which I enjoy immensely. She vividly paints the landscape and amps up the suspense with her descriptions.

The missing person and murders were my favorite aspect of the Silenced. Graham gave us perspectives from the killer and slipping inside his mind really notched up the suspense. The case began to weave the missing person, murders and events around a D.C. Senator with eyes on the White House. Red herrings, and twists kept me engaged and I enjoyed seeing all of the threads come together as Lara and Matt connected the dots.

Matt and Lara had a rough, awkward start but slowly began developing feelings for each other. I loved the banter between them and Graham added a special element to the mix that brought humor and helped with the case. There is some heat, and once things ignited, the relationship moved quickly. While not my favorite romance of the series, I enjoyed these characters.

Oh my god....the freaking exclamation points....I almost can't comment on the story because every single exclamation point took me out of the story. This is one of the very few of these stories, which I generally love, that I didn't read in one sitting. More then once I threw it down because I couldn't handle the stupid exclamation points.

It's a good story but not one of her best stories. Some of the FBI as investigators didn't seem true.

Love the Krewe of Hunters series.

This one was just alright to me. Meg and Matt kind of lacked chemistry for me, and I just didn't much interest in their romance. I liked their banter, but to me it was more friendship than romance. I adored Killer though! I hope he's around for future books.

The mystery was just ok. I had most of it figured out VERY early on. Politics drive me nuts on a good day, so it was hard to actually stay interested in that part of the story.

It was nice to see other crew members working the case though.

Silly dialogue, shallow character development, ho hum writing, decent storyline.

The Silenced is the 15th book in the Krewe of Hunter series by Heather Graham. And my least favorite so far, I found it hard to connect with the two main characters; at times it seemed to drag.

Meg Murray is a novice FBI agent a late night phone message has her concerned for the safety of her childhood friend Lara. Convinced that Lara has been taken and maybe dead, Meg contacts an old friend Adam Harrison. She gets assigned to the Krewe of Hunters, a FBI unit of paranormal investigators.

Special agent Matt Bosworth, is no rookie and he's now been assigned a brand new agent out of the academy Meg Murray. They're sent on a wild goose chase for Meg's friend Lara.
