resolve, but when they get two separate calls from two frantic
customers, they realize they’re getting stretched pretty thin. How
are they going to handle two cases at once? Daniel, Sam’s
fifteen-year-old son, has a solution, but they quickly discover that
solution could lead to serious injury—or worse—for the
supernaturally talented boy.”

Appraisal:
Prayer
Walk caught me off guard
delving into religion and the fear people have about the beliefs of
others. It’s short, concise, and handled respectfully. It’s
incredulous to see similarities in belief systems that so many others
do not recognize. Ms. Bowersock and Sam Firecloud turn this
presentation of religions on its head.
Lacey
Fitzpatrick and Daniel encounter an angry ghost at a car dealership.
The owner is frantic, all of his employees are being physically
attacked and are refusing to go back to work. The ghost is an
employee that was murdered there late one night. The killer is a
mystery, it seems as if it was a random attack. Daniel is way out of
his league as the ghost possesses him, for a short time, to try to
communicate with him. Sam Firecloud is keeping a close, but worried
eye on him as Daniel continues to work the case. Lacey delves into
the lives of the people related to or involved with the ghost to
figure out who this stranger is and why he chose to kill that night.
Ms. Bowersock knows how to weave a tangled web. This part of the
story has far reaching consequences. Lacey still carries a lot of
clout with the LAPD.
If you
enjoy cozy mysteries with a dash of paranormal you need to read this
series. They are novella length. The author doesn’t mince words
with fillers. You get a story packed with intrigue, emotion,
characters with integrity who continue to grow, and a powerful sense
of wonder. What more could you ask for?
FYI:
Prayer
Walk is book 20 in Melissa
Bowersock’s, A LACEY FITZPATRICK and SAM FIRECLOUD MYSTERY SERIES.
This series does not need to be read in order. However, you may miss
some character development, and why would a conscientious reader want
to do that?
