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. ( )

This is the twelfth in the Sam and Lacey series. I seem to have peppered my reading list with their spirit/ghost mysteries for a while, to the point where I am beginning to wonder what will I do when they're no longer around every third book or so! Comfortingly, I think I have a few more to go before that stage is reached.

The couple is required to get to the bottom of a fire which seems to plague a certain property in a small town in Massachusetts. No sooner is something built on the site…a former site for a church…than it gets razed to the ground. They uncover lies, secrets and a fair old bit of resistance by small-town mentality.

Pocket-sized though these books are, you never feel short-changed: just pleasantly satisfied and eagerly awaiting the pair's next case.

Right! Watch this space...I'll be back with Sam and Lacey in two or three books' time! ( )

Paranormal Investigators Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud head out of town, way out of town, to Meadeview Massachusetts to see why a guy’s convenience store keeps burning to the ground before construction can even be finished. What they find is a tangled web of lies, local hostility, and one pissed off ghost dating back to 1928.
Sam and Lacey have got their work cut out for them in this one. The ghost is from 1928 and they have to figure out the story in order to do the release. But that’s a long time ago and there isn’t anyone around who is from that decade. Records are hard to come by, but that’s never stopped Lacey before. I love walking with them while they figure out the who, what, why of the ghosts they encounter. The stories are getting shorter, but they aren’t any less interesting. ( )
