Whoever said that nothing ever happens in a small town clearly never visited Dearmont, Maine. It’s getting hotter than hell around here. When the dead start crawling out of their graves, you know something’s up.
If there’s one thing I hate more than zombies, it’s having my memories erased by magic. That's a real bummer, right? So when I get a chance to break the spell that’s locked away part of my mind, I take it, even if it means dabbling with ancient Egyptian sorcery.
Big mistake.
Sometimes you shouldn’t go poking at things that are buried.
Because you end up having to deal with an army of the dead.
Buried Memory Harbinger PI Book 2 edition by Adam J Wright Literature Fiction eBooks
Actual rating 2.75 stars.This only felt like a mild improvement from the first novel. I wasn’t so much into the camp sexist machinations of our protagonist Alec. While I enjoyed the paranormal angle and his solving of mysterious cases, the machismo and constant attractive women swirling around him, eager to do his bidding had the feminist in me grinding my teeth.
The second half of the book was much better – it was so focused on the action, the author had no chance to waste on bravado and cliché. I don’t mind a bit of campy b-grade horror, but I really wanted something a little more original. I was going to say in the review for the debut that it reminded me of Charlene Harris of Sookie Stackhouse fame (but I have not read those novels and feel like it would be an insult) and again, I got that niggle, how there was an interwoven plot of mystical creatures and battles to be won.
The arc with Alec’s assistant, Felicity, was cool. As too, the plot twist with his ‘flirtation-friend’ Mallory – both formidable women in their own right, but I feel like the author does not give them the space to really shine. ‘Buried Memory’ is still steeped in that Private Eye 1950’s era of a tough, wisecracking gumshoe who gets all the dames.
One thing did puzzle me though – given it is a detective novel, shouldn’t he solve some cases? He did in the first novel.... but in ‘Buried Memory’ when the Deputy asked him to look into the church that her dead mother had gotten involved with before her demise... well, after he palmed it off (as I find he tends to do a lot) was simply completely forgotten. Where was the plot of this story going? Instead we got an entirely different direction. I got a little steamed actually. There wasn’t even mention of it at the end of the book like it would be continued in the next instalment ‘Dark Magic.’
I’m starting to find, even though I feel the stories a little gauche, they are still engaging and highly entertaining in a ‘Vampire Diaries’ kind of way. I have a morbid fascination to find out what happens next – but I wouldn’t quite call it a guilty pleasure. I really feel if this collection of novels had a good content edit and a more feminine viewpoint inserted into the narrative they would be stellar reads.
Wright can construct a great action scene, build tension and pace, and manage to give you an unpleasant shiver over something unknown in the dark. So he has a lot of elements going for him and this collection of novels. Plus they are all around the 200 page mark in length, so easy to read in half a day. Not a great investment to get a fun, nostalgic kick.
So, I’d only recommend to those who love paranormal detective novels with plenty of machismo and campy fun. It’s totally like a b-grade horror noir film on the pages, and not to be taken too seriously. With all the nit-picking I’ve done to this series, the books are engaging, entertaining and highly addictive.

Buried Memory Harbinger PI Book 2 edition by Adam J Wright Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Not since I found Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles while waiting for the next Dresden after the ending of the Night side, has a series grabbed me so strongly. If you are a fan of Dresden, The Night side, and Iron Druid you will enjoy the Harbinger series. I would recommend it in the same breath. I look forward to more from Mr. Wright.
Really good story and good writing. Just kinda ends though without finishing the story, or just kind of ends suddenly. I would rather pay triple price and have it all in one book. Good supernatural elements with magic. It will be interesting to see what powers Alec has that he doesn't know about.But with the cliffhangers I think I will wait until more books are out before buying any more.
Buried Memory
Harbinger P.I., Book 2
By Adam J. Wright
This continues the series right about where book one takes off. There is still someone after our guy, he is making friends with the neighbors, zombies are popping up, lol, he still has his 'team', and it is a load of fun! Enjoying this series!
Book 2 delves deeper into some of the mysteries from book 1 while introducing some new twists and plot strands at the end. Steady pace, a likable character, some cool magical items and a twisty plot keep things interesting. Can't wait to see Mallory go up against Mr. Happy! Highly readable (some might call the series addictive).
Buried Memory, a Harbinger, P.I. novel
by Adam J. Wright
Again, Wright delivers a really fun paranormal read. Alec Harbinger, preternatural investigator, and his friends, Mallory, Felicity, Leon and Mallory are back. This time around, the lovely Deputy Amy Cantrell, daughter of Sheriff Cantrell, has hired Alec to discover what caused three dead and buried corpses, one of whom was her mother, to crawl out of their graves. The answer involves the box that Alec sent to himself from Paris, an act of which he has no memory. The discovery of what the box actually is, and a summons from his father to return to London, will bring to light both a deadly threat to the survival of the human race, and exactly what memories are locked away behind that magical door in Alec's mind. The race is on to defeat the paranormal enemy and to unlock Alec's past.
Wright continues to write engagingly, crafting a well plotted and paced story. The characters are interesting and nicely fleshed out. The editing in this book is very good; I found only two errors, first a singular where a plural was needed and second an omitted word. I loved the visual when Alec describes his father's attire as including a deerstalker hat such as that worn by Sherlock Holmes, and then follows that up just a bit later with having the father say to Alec "The game is afoot."
Again, no cliffhanger ending, which is a plus to me. However, like in the last novel, this one ends with a new problem cropping up. So, the novel really doesn't qualify as stand alone, either. Mr. Wright, your characters and storytelling are excellent. You do not need to resort to starting your next book as the end of the previous. Readers will want to read your work on the strength of that work. They will not need the unnecessary inducement of wondering where this wrinkle in the character's life will lead him. Oh! And update your website, which has as the latest update I could find, the arrival of this book #2, when I already have book #3, "Dark Magic," is already on my .
So, for those of you who like a good, fast paranormal read, give the Harbinger P.I. series a try.
