Fire Walk

A Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud Mystery, Book 12

By: Melissa Bowersock

Narrated by: Julie John

A property in the town of Meadeview, Massachusetts has a problem with fire. Anything that is built there burns to the ground. Medium Sam Firecloud and his partner, Lacey Fitzpatrick, are called to the small town to investigate the strange physical haunting, and their research leads them deeper into the dark underbelly of the tight knit community.

The more they uncover, however, the more the townspeople are threatened by the old secrets—secrets the locals would much rather remain buried.

The very ground from a long-ago church is cursed by an arsonist ghost in New England?
In spite of being part of a series, there's enough background interspersed in the story to keep it from being an issue. Well, except that you'd want to read the others anyway. Sam is the medium and is very serious about helping those trapped into a bad situation by the manner of death. Lacey is his research partner, ex homicide cop, and his significant other. This case is different from those they've had before as the request comes from a builder in New England. They also encounter unexpected hostility from the local law while learning some nasty things about attitudes toward women in the late 1920s. I love these byte sized mysteries!
I have audio with Julie John as the excellent voice actor and audiobook narrator.
