Appraisal:
Books in a series like this one tends to have stories with a lot of
similarities from book to book. Each instalment has certain basics in main
characters, the kinds of things they get involved in, and some aspects in how
the story progresses that fit the same basic pattern. If you like one of the
series and the author does a good job with the unique parts of the story in
others, you’ll probably like the others as well.
For the most part that’s what I found with Hostage Walk. I’ve
read a few of the books in this series, liked the story and the premise behind
them. In most ways this installment follows the basic pattern with Lacey
Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud combining their different talents to solve a
mystery. Sam’s ability to interact with human spirits (okay, we’ll call them
ghosts) who need help resolving some issue before they can move on and Lacey’s
ability to logically work things out to solve the underlying puzzle both figure
into this. However, there are some twists to the norm that add to the story.
Saying too much could be a spoiler, but I’ll say that Sam’s daughter, Kenzie,
contributes to the eventual solution. An excellent read, as always, in this fun
series.
