Appraisal:

For those not familiar with this series, Sam Firecloud is able to communicate with the spirit of a person who has died and for some reason hasn’t moved on from this life to the next, essentially hanging around and, for lack of a better term, haunting people in this world. Typically there is a reason for this which needs to be resolved. With his partner, Lacey Fitzpatrick, Sam is called on to help understand and resolve these issues so the spirit can move on.

In some ways, this book is like the others in the series, at least at the high level above. But there is also a second major story thread which, while related to the main story thread, is presented in a different way. I won’t go into more detail to avoid spoilers, but will say that I was eager to figure out how both threads were going to resolve and was kept guessing and engaged in both parts of the story to the end.
