Review: Haven - Book#13 Bishop/Special Crimes Unit - Kay Hooper - July 2012

Always on the lookout for new mystery writers as I am fussy when it comes to the way they are written as when reading a mystery novel, they have to be A) fast-paced , B) exciting and C) non-confusing. So I decided to give Kay Hooper a go with her latest read Haven and I was impressed as I found the book to be to my liking. It was fun and a fast-paced read. I think what I loved most about it though is that the Special Crimes Unit headed up by Bishop is made up of a number of crime fighting justice heroes with one element in common - they all have "special abilities" from telepathy to medium to sensing the dead . In Haven , we meet one of the SPU members Jessie Rayburn , whom fifteen years ago disappeared from her hometown after witnessing something REALLY bad. Now fifteen years later, she has decided in order to move on with her life , she must return home and face the demons she has had locked up. Jessie can not only read thoughts but can also see ghosts and spirits , Jessie once she arrives home will come face to face with the news that a SK is hunting the woods of Baron Hollow and that her younger sister Emma also has pyschic abilities, she has the ability to dream of death -think Patricia Arquette's role on the Medium. Also being introduced in this novel is Nathan Navarro - he has the ability to sense the dead and where they are buried.

With the three of them combining their abilities can they both unlock the mysteries of Baron Hollow and save the town from a Serial Killer before it's too late and the Haven team has to say goodbye to one of their three members ?

I really enjoyed Haven by Kay Hooper and look forward to reading more of her tales in the Bishop/SCU series.
