The Stalking

Written by Heather Graham

Narrated by Roger Wayne

Dark legends come to life

With the execution of a serial killer known as the Artiste, Cheyenne Donegal thinks a grim part of her past is finally put to rest. Her cousin had been the twisted killer’s final victim, and then-teenage Cheyenne was integral in bringing him to justice. That tragedy drove her to become an FBI agent. And now she’s back in Louisiana because someone is murdering young women in the same manner as the Artiste.

Krewe of Hunters agent Andre Broussard has deep ties in New Orleans and Cajun country beyond. He knows that more than one monster has stalked the bayou. Has a deadly threat been resurrected, or does someone have a dark inspiration?

With the life of a missing woman on the line, Cheyenne and Andre have to set aside their doubts about each other and work to discover the truth. The case is too close and too personal—but they can’t let it go, especially now that a ruthless killer has turned the tables and is hunting them.

Reviews for The Stalking

[Nneamaka M. Payne · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Agent Cheyenne Donegal and special agent Andre Rousseau came back home to investigate case of kidnapping and killings of different young women. In Lussisan and although Andre nor Cheyenne had been introduced to us in either of the two books in this trilogy, we do see that they are connected to Keri Wolf, whom we met in the previous book The Seekers. Cheyenne and Keri had been roommates at Loyola college when Keri had written her first true crime book.
Cheyenne Donegal seeks out to Keri Wolf for help in the case of a serial killer who was targeting young women, and mimicking the one who had been caught years ago. Through Keri the request goes to Jackson Crow at the Krewe of Hunters and Andre Rousseau joins her in the investigation.
Cheyenne and Andre are perfectly paired even though Cheyenne has a frustration at Andre in the beginning. Although I had a smile on my face every time these two had the sparks flying around between them.
This plot again continues with the usual pattern of Heather's books in the Harrison Investigations and Krewe of Hunters series, apart from the presence of ghosts and spirits. Usually they revolve around historical inferences, somehow connecting the past to the present either by way of characters or incidents and they involve hidden tunnels be it in cemetery or old houses or mortuaries or secret passages or vaults. We get to see a new pair in this book as always.
Incidentally Heather doesn’t have the list of cast and characters of her plot in the beginning of the book which she had been doing in her books lately. Another point that made me feel that this whole book perhaps was an after thought.
The characters are as usual fun and loving even though there is terror on every corner of the page. However, the plots are becoming simpler and simpler as the series is progressing. Her initial plots had been much more chiller and far more in-depth plotted.
