My regular fix of sleuths-with-a-difference, Lacey and Sam, in book number 15, in which they're met with two surprises: one, Sam's son wants to put his L-plates on and follow in his father's footsteps, and two, their investigation into the mystery why a dead policeman's ghost is appearing at a beach he used to patrol leads them to encounter not just his ghost, but that of a young girl who died there many years previously.

All I need to do is pull out my usual compliments for Bowersock's writing: neat, tidy, concise, easy to read, engaging, original, complete. The Lacey-and-Sam novellas are like a literal Tardis. Small on the outside but huge on the inside! ( )

Lacey Fitzpatrick and Sam Firecloud are paranormal investigators who try to discover why a ghost is haunting a place. They get plenty of business through word of mouth and some of the jobs come through old contacts. In this one, Lacey’s former job at the LAPD is what draws them an interesting case. A dead cop is patrolling a stretch of beach in Long Beach, California and his old partner hires them to find out why. And maybe get him to move on. They take Sam’s 14-yr-old son Daniel along since he expresses an interest in learning more about the gift he has inherited from his dad. What they discover is unusual, to say the least.

Well, this is a different one for the books. There’s not one, but two ghosts haunting this particular beach and the revelation is fascinating. Great plot, great execution, and wonderful characters. I’m still all in for this series. ( )
