Genre: Mystery/Contemporary Fiction/Paranormal
Description:
“Raising teenagers is tough. Medium Sam Firecloud and his partner,
Lacey Fitzpatrick, have that brought home to them in spades when Sam’s sixteen-year-old
son, Daniel, calls a sudden family meeting to make an unexpected, and
unwelcome, announcement. Not only are Sam and Lacey struggling to deal with the
development, they’re doing it in different ways, adding to the tension. At the
same time, they are hired to investigate the death of a fifteen-year-old girl
who chose to tragically end what was a privileged but tragic life. When Sam’s
usual methods for dealing with a tethered soul go stunningly wrong, he and
Lacey are left to wonder if they can ultimately help either of the two
teens—living and dead—to find peace.”

Appraisal:
Teen angst times two in Suicide
Walk. Daniel, Sam’s sixteen-year-old son, calls a family meeting to make an
unconventional and unwelcome announcement which no one is happy about. As Sam
and Lacey struggle to deal with this development, tension rises as they deal
with this situation in different ways. At the same time Sam and Lacey are hired
to release the spirit of a fifteen-year-old girl who chose to end what was a
privileged but tragic life a year ago. They have to figure out why she is
tethered to this earthly plane. When Sam tries to release her spirit, she
reacts violently. Oops! Then the father fires them and plans on billing them
for the damage incurred. Double oops!
Even though they have been fired from this job Lacey can’t let it go.
She knows they have missed something vital from Tessa’s tragic life. Suicide Walk is a captivating and
emotional story that will keep you turning the pages. The characters are well
rounded and their dialogues are realistic. The plot moves at a nice pace, Ms.
Bowersock doesn’t mince words to pad her word count. I also love the way Sam’s
kids are worked into the story and we get to share their growing pains as well.
It’s like having a magical window into the Firecloud’s daily life. I love that
part of the series. Okay, back to the story at hand, you may want to have a box
of Kleenex close by for the emotional climax.
