New York Times bestselling author Anne Frasier takes readers back to her dark, enchanting Savannah―a place as terrifying as it is mesmerizing.

Homicide detective Elise Sandburg is traumatized after her run-in with a madman the press has dubbed “The Organ Thief.” As Elise takes refuge in her deceased aunt Anastasia’s abandoned plantation to investigate and recover from her ordeal, she begins to question everything―from her dangerous line of work to her complex relationship with her handsome, tortured partner, David Gould. But with a madman on the loose, and her mother’s claims to still hear from Aunt Anastasia, she may have more immediate problems on her hands. In Elise’s world, where cold hard crime mixes with the local Gullah culture, nothing is ever what it seems, and no one is above suspicion―not even the dead.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Elise Sandburg is a helluva protagonist; with a twisted and convoluted backstory, a spine of steel and a soft spot for her partner, Detective David Gould. A story that captivates." ~ Daphne's Books

"Stay Dead is a page turner. Anne's amazing storytelling is so beautiful... The twists and turns in Stay Dead are....WOW! Elise's struggles and triumphs throughout take her (and YOU) from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows and EVERYTHING in between and you're right there with her. Can't WAIT for Book #3! " ~Goodreads reviewer

"I was welcomed back to Savannah and the "strange as normal" flavor of local events with ease and enjoyed dipping my toes back into dark water with Elise. Intricately crafted twists and character development made for a captivating read." ~ Heather Dearly

Stay Dead by Anne Frasier is the second book in the Elise Sandburg Mysteries series, a thrilling and dark crime fiction set in Savannah, Georgia. The protagonist, homicide detective Elise Sandburg, is recovering from a traumatic encounter with a serial killer known as “The Organ Thief”, who harvests organs from his victims while they are still alive. As she tries to cope with her nightmares and her complicated relationship with her partner, David Gould, she is drawn into a new case involving mysterious deaths and the local Gullah culture. Elise soon discovers that nothing is what it seems, and that even the dead have secrets.

The book is a gripping and suspenseful read that keeps the reader hooked until the end. The author creates a vivid and atmospheric setting that blends history, folklore and magic with modern crime-solving techniques. The characters are well-developed and realistic, each with their own flaws and strengths. The plot is fast-paced and full of twists and turns that keep the reader guessing. The book also explores themes such as trauma, trust, family and identity.

I would recommend this book to fans of crime fiction, especially those who enjoy stories with a touch of paranormal and a strong female lead. The book can be read as a standalone, but it might be better to read the first book in the series, Play Dead, to get more background on the characters and their previous case. Stay Dead is a captivating and chilling book that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I like to read and not write so I rarely take time to write reviews. This series so far has been immensely entertaining and not disappointing. Great story line and character building. The relationships aren't perfect and don't follow the typical plots. There are great twists and enough background into a culture that has left me googling and yearning for more info.

STAY DEAD [2014] (Elise Sandburg Book 2) By Anne Frasier
My Review Three Stars***

*THE FOLLOWING TEXT MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS*

This is the second installment of the author’s book series featuring Detective Elise Sandburg against the atmospheric backdrop of Savannah, Georgia in the Old South. Readers of the debut novel PLAY DEAD [2014] may have an advantage. I say “may”, since they will at least already know that Sandburg is a divorced homicide cop with a contrary teenaged daughter, struggles with self-identity issues due to her birthright as the illegitimate daughter of a powerful conjurer Jackson Sweet. Savannah is steeped in the Gullah culture of mojos, root magic, and the dark arts with the beautiful and powerful voodoo queen Strata Luna playing prominently in the first novel. Strata Luna is also Savannah’s most famous madam with her stable of boys and girls in the Black Tupelo. In the first book she meets with Elise, confirms that the legendary Jackson Sweet was her father and gives Elise a pair of conjurer’s glasses which had belonged to him. Readers of the first book will also be up to speed on Sandburg’s partner the classically handsome David Gould, an ex-FBI Agent and a Yankee with a whole ton of emotional baggage and tragedy in his past.

Having said that, this second book will likely confuse all readers, irrespective of whether they read the introductory novel that featured the Elise Sandburg character. It starts with Elise as a survivor of a life and death abduction-rape-torture by the serial killer dubbed “The Organ Thief”. She is reflecting on “Crisis Belief”:

“Yes, it was a powerful thing. She didn’t die. A chant—root magic saved her”.

The abduction itself occurs in the time frame between PLAY DEAD and the beginning of Book 2 (STAY DEAD). Elise reflects on the captivity and her torture but only intermittently. In other words, the narrative is in the present tense, but the entire “chapter” of Elise’s kidnapping, rape, torture, and ultimate escape from Travis Tremain (“The Organ Thief”) is in the past. This (plot mechanism?) is inherently confusing. As a reader, I prefer a linear plot line, and even well delineated “time jumps” between past and present in the narrative largely annoy me particularly when not carried out smoothly enough as to not interrupt the momentum of the storyline.

This is not a “page turner”. By 25% into the book Elise is recovering from the injuries she sustained during her “off camera” abduction and torture by Tremain. Details of her ordeal are being doled out in bits and pieces. Subplots are developing about a new body but Tremaine is still lying in the hospital in a comatose state. Cops are questioning whether there is a copycat killer with a similar but different MO, or whether Tremain had a partner. There is also the subplot about the status of the relationship between Elise and David, with Strata Luna’s “magical” interference. The underlying theme of the novel is “dead” people not “staying” dead. This phenomenon occurs during the book in different ways. We have the shenanigans at (Elise’s Maternal Aunt) Anastasia's home. Her Aunt is deceased, but Elise’s (foster) mother has received a phone call from her and asks Elise to investigate. Elise goes to the isolated decaying gothic plantation to recover from the emotional and physical trauma she has suffered. (Really?) Elise is popping pain killers but sees her dead Aunt Anastasia. Is this her ghost? Did she fake her death? Is Anastasia’s daughter Melinda gaslighting her? There are a lot of moving parts as the author sets the stage. Confusing, albeit Interesting start but hardly riveting.

I stayed with the book in large part because I had already invested in Frasier’s complete “DEAD” series, but also because I do enjoy the supernatural and the occult. Disappointingly enough, though, I don’t believe the author was able to mix this police procedural with these elements successfully. In this novel, the lead character of Elise battles continuously with the knowledge and acceptance of her Gullah root magic heritage. Sandburg reflects that a root magic spell tipped the scales when she was knocking on Heaven’s Gate, but then in the next paragraph she’s in the camp of cold scientific facts. The waffling got really tiresome as I became more immersed in the storyline.

I kept having to remind myself that Elise had faced a “near death experience” at the hands of a sadistic serial killer who was obsessed with her. It is not uncommon for survivors to question the choices they have made in their lives, the paths they have travelled, what mistakes they have made, and what direction they need to go, etc., etc. Elise does this in spades, and if I had to hear about a “coffee shop” one more time… Anyway, if the reader had been privy to the details of the experience she suffered “in the here and now” with a sense of immediacy, it might have made a difference in the growing level of irritation with Elise’s incessant self-reflection and second-guessing pretty much everything, especially her career as a homicide detective.

The Sandburg character wants to be perceived as cool, calm, and collected…and above all, strong and in control. Consequently, she does attempt to shield her vulnerabilities whenever possible. Conversely, her partner David Gould is a man whose psyche has been stripped bare, and although he isn’t out of the woods yet, he exhibits a level of understanding and sensitivity toward Elise that is at times heart-rendering. He is a “beautiful” man, as the old timers would say, but in David’s case, his traffic stopping good looks are actually a reflection of his inner self. Elise repeatedly hurts David with her words and actions. She seems oblivious to his feelings and ignorant of the fact that words are weapons that can wound. She became less likeable for this reader as the book progressed, even borderline callous. Elise takes David's feelings for her totally for granted. By this point in the book the serial killer is on the loose (magically?) awakened from his vegetative state by Elise’s voice and her touch. Tremain has left the body of a young boy for the cops to find with a gaping wound in his chest and his heart ripped out. The young victim’s body was found in water, and for David this was déjà vu (his own son the same age and so physically similar in appearance) killed by drowning. David is already wrecked by the realization that he had been motivated to murder Trevain in the hospital room when he and Elise had visited, but that he had failed to act and a young boy was now dead.

The police get a hot lead about the killer’s location away from Savannah and Elise had forgotten about David’s ex-wife. She did acknowledge to herself that it was “awful” that she’d forgotten. David was to attend the execution of his former wife for the murder of his son. Sandburg continues to be self-absorbed all the time, but even worse, she clearly viewed all of David's actions through a lens of how her own feelings or wellbeing would be effected---and not what cause and effect the action would have on David. When David tells her that he intends to rectify the mistake he made by not killing Atticus Tremain in the hospital, her response is:

“I’m not okay with it. Don’t do that to me. Don’t you dare do that to me.”

David takes off on a plane to join a SWAT TEAM on the ground to “take down” the murderous Trevain with the secret plan to shoot him in the head on sight. David pleads with Elise to stay in Savannah at the police quarters or to accept STRATA LUNA’s offer to stay at her high security mansion. Meanwhile, Sandburg’s daughter is flying back from Sweden against her mother’s advice and needs to be met at the airport on arrival in Savannah. The killer’s known location has been under surveillance for hours and the SWAT TEAM on the ground is ready to move on him and take him down. Tremain’s mother had ratted him out and called Elise personally to let her know his whereabouts. The police had a visual on Tremain stealing a vehicle in Savannah and the mother was able to describe the stolen car in the driveway. If a single reader didn’t fully anticipate what I like to refer to as a Silence Of The Lambs split-screen moment (FBI in one place, Clarice and the killer in another place far away as the SWAT TEAMS breaks through the door), I’d be shocked.

When the SWAT TEAM on the ground has the house surrounded and is moving in for the “take down” (joined by David in a Kevlar Vest, a lethal weapon, and murderous intent in his heart) you might ask where is Elise? A better question would be perhaps if you knew that a delusional psychopath was obsessed with you and was coming TO KILL YOU, where is the last place you would go? You got it---the isolated, deserted, decaying and accessible from all directions—Anastasia’s plantation house. This is the antithesis of what a seasoned homicide cop would do, especially one like Elise portrays herself to be (strong, smart, capable of taking care of herself in her confrontations with violent criminals).
I can’t fathom why the author would render the heroine as deliberately disregarding her own safety, drinking wine and popping a pain pill, taking a nap, taking a swim in the pool with her weapon nowhere near her, and assuming that was all just fine since Tremain was being taken care of far away from her desolate location.

Elise ends up in the hands of the madman obsessed with her, rendered helpless by multiple gunshots from her own service weapon, trussed up like a Christmas turkey, her Black Tupelo mojo from Strata Luna cut from her body, and with her time winding down. Sandburg only hopes that he will kill her before he cuts the extensive skin from her body that bears the stunning tattoo art he created when he’d held her captive the first time. David had gone to pieces when she had been kidnapped the first time around, but when she finds her life again in the balance, her partner become the cool-headed FBI Agent of his past and rescues her from a painful death. Tremain gets a quick demise, much more than he deserved.
The author makes a “spirited” attempt to tie it all up with a bow with the last scene depicting Thanksgiving Dinner in Elise’s house after its restoration (her house had been uninhabitable for the whole novel due to being remodeled and brought up to code). David is there with Elise and Audrey while wielding his famous pumpkin bread, and the guest list is otherwise both colorful and surprising (no more spoilers).

Finally, this second book of the series is a “misfire” from Frasier. It doesn’t work on many levels despite its admittedly colorful cast of characters and its theme of the “dead” returning to life. The worst-case scenario for me was not so much my disappointment in this particular installment but rather the inescapable fact that I had started to really dislike the main character of Elise. I am really “on the fence” about the remaining installments, despite the fact they are purchased Unread Books on my Kindle.
I do want to a couple things. One, I am clearly an outlier on this review, and Two, Anne Frasier is an exceptionally talented author. Her BODY READER book trilogy absolutely “knocked by socks off”. I have also read FIND ME (Inland Empire Book 1) released last year, and it was simply outstanding. I have already pre-ordered the second book in the series. I might be critical of her Elise Sandberg police procedurals, but I remain a fan and am not at all discouraged from reading her other works.

Great follow-up to her first novel. Very suspenseful.....read it in one sitting. The story begins with Elise in the hospital and a call from her adoptive mother to check on her dead aunt. Now, we don't know much about why she is in the hospital until later, which could be confusing, but the explanation comes rather early on. Thought it was going to be like the movie "Sunset Boulevard" when the narrator is on trial for murder then goes back and tells the story of how he got there. Not so. This is really two stories; one about the murderer and his obsession with Elise, and the other about her past/present relationships and how they intertwine. The murder mystery is a good one and the perpetrator sufficiently evil. If it were only about that, it would be a very good book. The second story, and to me just as important, involves Elise's growing understanding and acceptance of who she is. The core group of characters from the first novel are here, and pieces of the puzzle of Elise's life are coming together. I love how all these quirky, flawed people are making a family. The ending was particularly gratifying. I look forward to reading more in the series.
