Linda Howard
Class/Genre: Fiction Romantic Suspense Thriller
Pocket, Sep 1998, $23.00, 325 pp.
When she began seeing ghosts, Paris Sweeny decides to move from Clayton, New York to the Big Apple because she found it difficult to live amidst spirits that she once knew when they were mortal. Though she still encounters shades, they are individuals she did not previously know when they were alive. In the big city, she can become the observing artist as opposed to the observed oddity.
Sweeny's feelings to limit any social contact abruptly changes due to the continual growth of her psychic powers that make her sexually aware of Richard Worth. He happens to be the estranged spouse of Chandra, owner of the art gallery that displays Sweeny's paintings. Richard is also falling for Sweeny, but is unaware of the danger she soon will face and nothing he can do can stop that from occurring.
It has been long overdue, but now that it has finally arrived, Linda Howard's hardcover debut is the pinnacle achievement of an already great career. NOW YOU SEE HER crosses romance, suspense, and paranormal genres to become an active story line that is humorous and intense. Ms. Howard has brilliantly merged aspects of romantic suspense with the psychological thriller, redefining both sub-genres to the point that she is on a level with such luminaries as Mary Higgins Clark and Barbara Parker.
