The Ghost Whisperer: Revenge

By Doranna Durgin

Book Overview

On a chilly spring night in Grandview, reformed tough guy Gordon Reese makes a final break with his old ways, bidding farewell to his roughneck buddies at The Whetstone Bar. But a vicious killer makes certain that Gordon's farewell will be final indeed. And now the haunting begins. Gordon's murder has sparked a return to his violent ways, and his embittered spirit is quickly learning how to physically unleash his fury. He hunts down Craig Lusak -- the last man to see Gordon alive -- and begins to terrorize him mercilessly in a rage fueled by vengeance, anger, and unrelenting bloodlust. Problem is, Gordon may be haunting the wrong man. When ghost whisperer Melinda Gordon begins to investigate the murder, she discovers a terrified Lusak, who, though desperate to ward off his ghostly tormentor, is secretive about his involvement with Gordon Reese's death. Melinda's interference provokes the killer to begin stalking her, and she becomes the next target of his obsessive homicidal rage. For each minute that the murder goes unsolved, Lusak grows weaker and Melinda faces increasing danger. In the ultimate battle between good and evil, will Gordon Reese overcome his demons in time to save Melinda from his killer, or will Gordon's unquenchable thirst for revenge lead her to a horrific end?

Great Book

this book was great, i didn't know that someone was writing stories to go along with the tv show and i am impressed that they kept with the integrity of the show. Nicely Done!

Doranna scores a home run with Ghost Whisperer Revenge

I've read a fair number of media tie-in books before, but I have to say that none of them drew me in like this book did. Doranna captured the characters perfectly. I could see the story in my mind as if I were watching an episode of the series. This book is very true to the TV series and I look forward to reading the next installment.

Nailed it!

I tend to stay away from media tie-in books, for several reasons, the main one being that it seems to take a special twist of the muse for an author to successfully inhabit another creator's "world." Even some of my favorite authors--whose original works I love--don't have that special talent when it comes to playing in somebody else's sandbox. But a few do... and I was happy to see that Durgin is one of them. (She's written other media tie-ins, but they're no longer in print, and I haven't read them.) She got the character right... right down to the clothes! She got the relationships between the main characters right, and she got the "feel" of the series right. (Don't ask me to explain that... it's hard to put into words... some combination of character and story that just evokes the same reaction in me as the show does.) It not only kept me reading far into the night, the ending brought on the waterworks, just like the endings on the show always do! Add to that Durgin's talent for writing a fast-paced story without sacrificing the kind detail that brings the characters and setting alive, and I think this one's a winner. I'll be looking for more "Ghost Whisperer" titles from this author. (There WILL be more, right?!?)
