Product Description:

The beautiful Rachel Grant put her heart and memories in cold storage following the disappearance of her fiancé. Her parents' sudden death 10 years later forces her to return home to settle their estate, but she finds that more awaits her than selling off furniture and signing papers. Dealing with her past is made more complicated by the appearance of the mysterious Adam Delafield. He claims to owe the estate several million dollars, but there is no mention of him or of such a large transaction in her father's papers. That would be odd enough, but Delafield is also the spitting image of Rachel's missing fiancé, long presumed dead. Rachel is naturally troubled by his looks, and further bothered by a series of accidents that are too close for comfort. Then suddenly, even her father's business associates and old friends seem to have something to hide.

Fantastic coincidences are central in Kay Hooper's previous--and most popular--novels After Caroline and Amanda. She has put her skills to good use in Haunting Rachel, despite a sometimes awkward style. Dreams, doppelgängers, and dark dealings do make for delightful reading and Hooper seems to have found her niche with this brand of romantic thriller.

This five start romantic suspense novel left me wanting more. It's easy to see why Kay Hooper's fans love her so much, why she gets more with every book.

- Not Quite a Ghost Story, But a Real Grabber
Is it a ghost, or did her fiancé not die in South America as she'd been led to believe? Rachael had only been nineteen when Tom vanished on that flight. Now, ten years later and back in town because her parents had been killed in a plane crash, she sees someone who looks enough like Tom to be his twin. The mysterious stranger is Adam Delefield, a friend of her father's, or so he says. He also says he owed her father money he wants to repay. Her life is in a turmoil. Someone is trying to kill her, her emotions are out of control. Businessmen aren't supposed to have guns. People are lying to her. Who can she trust? Adam, can she trust him?

- Within the first few pages you guess who did it!!!!
I will not repeat what is any many of the reviews. The "bad" guy in this one is so obvious that you guess who it is right off and think; no there will be all sorts of twists and turns. NOPE! He sticks out like a sore thumb. The author is terrible at conversations. They are so bad that you can finish the sentences like bad B movies. He is a line from the HERO "Jesus Christ on a Pony" Give me a break. The sad thing is that she creates likeable, interesting characters that you want to get to know. No originality to the story that was even slightly believable
