Book description
The third gripping mystery in this stunning series that will leave you
restless. A must for all fans of paranormal romance. Something strange
is happening at Ellerton High. Jonas, Arizona, Summer, Phoenix: all dead
within a year. And then they appear before Darina, Phoenix's
grief-stricken girlfriend - beautiful and sub-human. They are the
Beautiful Dead, souls in limbo, and they need Darina's help to right the
wrong linked to their deaths, and finally set them free … It's been
nearly a year since the random shooting in a shopping mall caused Summer
Madison's meaningless death. The beautiful and gifted singer with a
heart of gold left behind recordings of her wonderful songs and a deep
sadness amongst her high school friends. Now Darina must act as Summer's
agent to track down the psychotic killer in a clear search for justice.
With the sound of Summer's music constantly playing inside Darina's
head, recalling the wonderful months when she was alive and performing
her first gigs, Darina, Phoenix and the Beautiful Dead are determined to
catch the crazed killer. And all the while Darina's love for Phoenix
continues to beat ... Eden Maguire lives part of the time in the US,
where she enjoys the big skies and ice-capped mountains of Colorado. An
abandoned farmstead two hours south west of Denver gave her the perfect
setting for The Beautiful Dead. 'It was as if time had stood still,' she
says of her first chance visit to the ranch. 'The kitchen still had the
old rocking-chair and iron stove, the ancient barn door really did blow
open and shut in the wind.' It was here that the seed for a series of
paranormal romance mysteries was sown. Eden Maguire's lifelong
admiration for Emily Bronte's timeless classic, Wuthering Heights, ties
in with her fascination for the dark side of life and informs her
portrayal of the restless, romantic souls in The Beautiful Dead. Away
from her interest in the supernatural and the solitary pursuit of
writing fiction, Eden's life is lived as much as possible in the
outdoors, thanks to ranch-owning friends in Colorado. She says, 'Put me
on a horse and point me towards a mountain - that's where I find my own
personal paradise.'
