Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud have formed an unusual but satisfying partnership. Formerly of the LAPD and currently a private investigator, Lacey helps Sam, a medium, release ghosts from their Earthly prison. She does all the research and Sam does his ghost walk. Usually the dead don’t come to him. His usual work mode is that he gets a call and if there is a ghost present he does what he can to help it along. This time, his cousin comes to him and Lacey and Sam need to head to Vegas to find his cousin’s body and the person or people who murdered him. But Vegas is a big place and the people who were after his cousin are now after Lacey and Sam. They gotta hurry before they’re one of the things that stays in Vegas. Permanently.
I’m really loving this series. Each book is a quick read with a great mystery to unravel. They’re also pretty well self-contained so you don’t really need to read the books before to get in the groove. But why would you do that?! This story has an added perk of danger Will Robinson, danger! Sam’s cousin was not on a very good path and now that he’s dead the baddies are after the two nosey people snooping around Vegas. Woo! I was on the edge of my seat for this one! I’m certainly looking forward to the next book.
I received this book for free. I am voluntarily posting this review and all opinions expressed herein are my own.
This is the fourth book in the Lacey and Sam Mystery Series. It is a standalone book with no cliffhanger ending. This book in the series focuses more on the relationship between Sam and Lacey – so this, in my opinion, would not be the book to start the series. It would be better to start with the first book in the series to understand the characters of Lacey and Sam and their evolving relationship.
I really enjoy this series and the paranormal aspect to it. The paranormal mystery here stems from Sam’s dreams of his former brother-in-law. To investigate these dreams, Sam and Lacey travel to Las Vegas. What I like so much about this series is that each book in the series is able to focus on a different part of Sam’s gift.
The narrator, Laura Wilson, is the narrator for the entire series and does a great job.

The investigation team of Lacey and Sam are drawn into a problem of Sam’s ex-brother in law out in Las Vegas. The man’s spirit has been trying to make contact through Sam’s dreams, and while he hasn’t been missing long his lifestyle makes it probable that he has been murdered. Not much to go on in an unfamiliar city, but at least the local force is more open minded about things. This one turns out to be more dangerous than the others and is an excellent read!
Laura Wilson continues to be excellent as narrator.
