I was very disappointed in this book. I'm a huge Heather Graham fan, having read all of her historical romances all the way into the present mysteries and paranormal. Normally her books are an excellent read but I felt this one was not. The plot was weak, the characters were not exciting, and the ending sucked beyond belief. To summarize, I felt like she was rushed with this book and the results were blah.

A very good read. I'm usually good at guessing the ending but this one came as a complete surprise.

The Dead Room is the prequel to The Death Dealer but certainly is more developed then it's sequel.
Characters are more real and likeable, especially Leslie's.

It's been a year since archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre lost her fiancee Matt Connolly in a devastating explosion and a year in which she developed the ability to communicate with ghost. She sometimes even sees them without first recognising they to the other world. Before the explosion that threw her halfway around a room she had been blessed with hunches which helped her in her job but nowadays she uses her ability to help those lost souls still wandering on earth. When a burial is discovered near the place where Matt dies she decides to accept the offer to work there and finally try to make contact with Matt's ghost - if he is still there.

She's never met Joe, Matt's cousin but when she first meets him she's directly attracted to his resemblance to Matt but soon discovers they are alike but not one and the same person.

Joe, an ex-cop working as private investigator searches for young Genevieve O'Brien who vanished two month ago and he is convinced she's connected to a series of vanished prostitutes in the same area. Due to her work as a social worker she knew the area and it's 'inhabitants' well.

Joe is drawn to Leslie but knows she's been engaged to Matt and still loves him so he's mighty torn between his knowledge and his arising feelings for her. They soon become friends trying to find Genevieve and the secret behind the vanished women who might or might not be dead. Joe believes in Leslie's abilities and together they find pieced to a puzzle that seems insolvable and becoming more and more dangerous for Leslie's life.
