Graham has written a detailed and complex mystery in 'Picture Me Dead.' It has all the features anyone would expect in a mystery novel. But, to keep the tension high, Graham manufactures too many unnecessary side threats. A little less heavy handed suspense SUSPENSE. When a rent, profit a prendre, and the like, are, in consequence of the unity of possession of the rent, &c., of the land out of which they issue, not in esse for a time, they are said to be in suspense, tunc dormiunt, but they may be revived or awakened.

Ashley Montague is in her last weeks of police training when she sees an apparent accident on the highway. There is an unconscious, nearly naked, man laying in the middle of the road. Later, she finds out the injured in·jure

 man is a very close friend. Nothing she finds out about the accident makes sense. The more she learns the more she knows it was not an accident.

Her life takes on even more twists when Detective Jake Dilessio moves into the marina next to her home and she is asked to become a crime scene sketch artist. The attraction between Ashley and Jake is immediate and their professional and personal lives become quickly tangled.

Dilessio is investigating a series of murders and somehow Ashley's unconscious friend is linked to the crimes. The more Jake and Ashley uncover the more danger they are in as the killer or killers try to cover their crimes.

'Picture Me Dead' is a solid well thought out murder mystery with everything a reader would like in the story. The heavy handed plotting detracts from the otherwise well written story. 'Picture Me Dead' is recommended as a solid story that is worth reading.
