Review: Missing Walk by Melissa Bowersock


 Genre: Mystery

Description:

With Christmas just a week away, Sam and Lacey are called to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to investigate the disappearance of a Navajo woman, and come face to face with the obstacles that prompted the MMIW movement—Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman. With very little help from the police, they are forced to forge a trail of clues on their own, a trail that leads to surprising places, but at the end of it all, will they find joy… or tragedy?”

Appraisal:

We’re up to 45 books in this series and while I haven’t read all of them, I’ve read quite a few, and always looking forward to the next one. They’re always fairly quick (novella size) and fun reads. With Sam Firecloud being a native it is common to see Native American history and culture being integrated into the story although with Sam’s ability to sense things, often (but now always) from spirits who are trapped in this world and need help getting to the next. Sam and Lacey are always asked to help solve some mystery and between their team work in putting the clues together and Sam’s supernatural abilities, they find a way to help. However, if you’ve been reading these books and thought you knew at a high level what to expect in every book going forward, this one breaks that pattern. It feels like it is going to follow the pattern at first, but ends up with a few twists that regular readers of the series won’t expect, while still staying true to what we’ve come to expect from the series. As I always feel after reading one of these, I love the read and am now eagerly awaiting the next one.
