Genre: Mystery/Supernatural
Description:
“In between cases dealing with ghosts and
hauntings, paranormal investigators Lacey and Sam lead a normal life, but of
course life never goes quite as planned. First they are shocked by an
announcement from their son, Daniel, then Lacey’s former coworker, Shirley So,
confesses to a problem with her three-year-old grandson, Toby. No ghosts are
involved, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t souls that have lost their way.
Using what they’ve learned in their cases over the years, Sam and Lacey attempt
to help Toby, but are his irrational ramblings just imagination… or memories?”

Appraisal:
I’m not sure how many of the now 44 books in this series I’ve read.
Definitely not all of them, but at least a handful or two. In spite of being
outside of the genres I read most often, at least in some ways, specifically
the supernatural or ghostly aspects of the stories, I find myself easily able
to suspend disbelief on those parts of the stories. At their core though they
are all mysteries with the difference being that what Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam
Firecloud do to solve these mysteries is an approach much different from what a
typical protagonist in a mystery would do. These mysteries typically involve
ghosts, but this one is outside the norm, instead involving a real live person
who has some similarities to the ghosts Lacey and Sam typically help. This
twist only adds to the mystery involved as well as making it even more of a
mystery as regular readers of the series have even less clue as to how this
might be resolved. (Sam and Lacey have to figure new things out themselves.) As
always with this series, this was a quick, fun, and engaging read that gets the
reader pulling for all the characters to solve the mystery and get through
their current difficulties.
