Reclusive collector Cutter Merlin is seldom seen in Key West—lately, not at all. Officer Liam Beckett visits Merlin’s curious house and discovers the gentleman in his study. In his death grip: a volume of occult lore and a reliquary. His eyes are wide with fright, his mouth a horrified rictus where spiders now dwell.
Kelsey Donovan returns to the old house to catalog her estranged grandfather’s collection of artifacts and antiquities, vowing to see his treasures divested properly. But she cannot ignore the sense that she’s being watched, the reports of malevolent black figures, the pervasive smell of death.
Is the Merlin house haunted, even cursed? Liam knows well that some ghost stories are true and he swears to protect Kelsey. But there are forces at work for whom one more life is a pittance to pay for their deepest desire….

"Of the trilogy, I liked this one the best, mainly because I liked the characters and the sense of conclusion of the overall story. There were some outlandish situations/circumstances to be sure, but it was very entertaining."
— Heather (4 out of 5 stars)
" I love Heather Graham! I am never disappointed by her ghost stories! "
— Jody, 2/16/2014" It wasn't as good as the previous books. I don't know how to describe it but it just didn't seem to have that build up on clues and suspense like the other two books. But it was still a nice quick read. "
— Victoria, 2/9/2014" Probably the weakest of the Bone Island books, but still a fun read if you've already gone through the first two. "
— Eva, 2/5/2014" The romantic interest in this last of this trilogy was as predictable as the others, but the suspense and eventual unmasking of the murderer was satisfying. Again, the reader was left to wonder just a bit who had the best motive and also whether or not the guilty party was human or spirit. I must admit I was a little let down by the ending--everything was wrapped up in a neat little bow in and epilogue without revealing details. "
— Sara, 2/1/2014" Enjoyed this book. The characters were great, but there were a few parts that were repeats of other work by Graham. "
— Rene, 2/1/2014" Perfect end to the series:) "
— Susan, 1/29/2014" I don't usually read genre novels, but the Key West setting intrigued me. The ending was a surprise and the characters were great. I just don't think real people "wince" as much as Graham thinks they do... "
— Carol, 1/27/2014" so far it is pretty interesting. seems to be a mystery thats being unsolved slowly which keeps the suspense going. "
— Antonella, 1/20/2014" If you like the other two, you will like this one. I'm glad I'm done with the Key West ghosts and evil people. The reason it got three stars was I liked the way Bartholomew's story ended. "
— Mum, 1/2/2014" Scarier but still nothing amazing "
— Katie, 12/11/2013" I didn't like this final book in the trilogy as much as I did the other two. There wasn't as much action. "
— Sierra, 12/5/2013" This was my favorite of the series "
— Beth, 11/27/2013" I love this trilogy! They're easy, quick reads that provide amusement from decent stories, and likable characters. I'll definitely be checking out more of Heather Graham's books! "
— Joanie, 10/1/2013" Didnt's know there were two books before this one, so the characters were already established and I didn't know any of them. But it was an ok book. "
— Connie, 9/28/2013" Way too cheery. Character developement could have been tighter. I do love The Keys though. "
— Carol, 7/24/2013" Not a bad ending to the series. I liked the mystery and I liked the relationship between Liam and Kelsey. "
— Kari, 5/23/2013" Makes me want to go back to Key West! "
— Becky, 4/14/2013" Loved all three books,and I was happy with the way it ended,sad about Bartholomew,but I guess it was what had to happen.Would recommend all three books in this series. "
— Natalie, 12/1/2012" this book was much weaker than the last two. The H&H hooked up way t fast and the mystery wasn't much of one. "
— Shyloh, 10/8/2012" This last book of the trilogy was really great - I finished it within a week. A real page turner - kept me captivated right to the end. Giving this book 5 stars. "

— Chi, 5/9/2011" Enjoyed this book. The characters were great, but there were a few parts that were repeats of other work by Graham. "
— Rene, 5/2/2011" This is the best book of the three. I really enjoyed the characters in this third book. I think character driven books are the best! "
— Michelle, 4/27/2011" OK Mystery for a little reading entertainment.I borrowed it from a friend, but personally wouldn't buy it. "
— Vera, 3/18/2011" a corny read but I love ghost stories and they are hard to find. "
— Kim, 3/7/2011" If you like the other two, you will like this one. I'm glad I'm done with the Key West ghosts and evil people. The reason it got three stars was I liked the way Bartholomew's story ended. "
