Appraisal:
Sam Firecloud, Navajo medium, is up against something a little
different than he has experienced before. His dreams are being visited by someone
he knew several years ago, and he is having trouble communicating with the
spirit. When he calls Lacey, a PI and occasional partner, to get her advice on
his dilemma, they both decide they need to check things out around his last
known address in Las Vegas, Nevada. After Lacey finds a couple of reputable
contacts in Homicide and Vice departments at the Vegas police department, Lacey
and Sam head out of L.A. with few facts and no leads to follow.
Dream
Walk has a bit of everything that makes this series so great. These
include an excellent mystery, Sam using his empathic abilities to connect with
the victim, the adventure of trying to locate a dead body in the desert around
Las Vegas, as well as the sexual tension between Lacey and Sam exacerbated by outside
parties. The secondary characters are well developed and realistic. This story
also is the most dangerous Lacey and Sam have ever been involved with. They
both learn, the hard way, that drug lords are not to be trifled with. But to
prove a crime has even been committed at all, they need the dead body.
I found Dream Walk a tension
filled, emotionally charged mystery as Sam and Lacey scour the dangerous side
of Vegas. While also being confronted with their relationship as partners in
business and the growing sexual tension between them. Decisions need to be
made. Is Sam, with his introvert personality, going to step up to the plate?
How will Sam’s kids react if he decides to have a personal relationship with Lacey?
Find out now in Dream Walk.
FYI:
Dream
Walk is the fourth book in A Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud Mystery
series. Each of these mysteries could be read as a standalone if you choose.
However, I am enjoying the relationship developing between Lacey and Sam and
recommend reading from the beginning to get the full benefit of their
storyline.
