Description:
“Medium Sam Firecloud and his investigative partner, Lacey
Fitzpatrick, are used to being called in to rid homes of ghosts, but are
surprised when they’re asked to investigate a haunting in a hospital. The case
turns out to be more difficult than usual for two reasons: the ghost doesn’t
actually understand what caused the death, and the administrator of the
hospital does not want the paranormal pair and their unorthodox methods
connected to his facility in any way. Sam and Lacey are determined to find out
the information they need to release the ghost, but can they do it before the
administrator makes good on his threats to have them thrown in jail?”

Appraisal:
Based on my experience so far, I think the books in this series are
fun, fast reads. They all involve Sam Firecloud, who has the ability to
communicate with people who have died, but the spirits of these people remain
trapped on this plane until some unfinished issue is resolved at which point
they can move on in peace to whatever comes after this life. Sure, this basic
premise and formula requires the reader to suspend disbelief, as would be
required with any book that touches on the paranormal. But it isn’t that hard
and then what you’re left with is an entertaining mystery that, because of the
main thing Sam and his partner Lacey use to get clues, tends to take the story
in different directions with more than a few unique twists and turns when
compared with a typical mystery. It also opens up the possibilities as to the
kinds of mysteries Sam and Lacey can tackle, sometimes solving mysteries and
helping a spirit move on who has been trapped in between this life and the next
for years or, as in this case, help someone who has been trapped for a relatively
short time. The unique aspects of each story keep the reader guessing and
engrossed in the story. This installment of the series has a few things that
aren’t typical of the others, the biggest one being that some people in power
obviously didn’t want the case resolved which complicated Sam and Lacey’s job. Overall,
this was another fun, entertaining read.
