Justice for the dead and solace for the living is Baxley Powell’s creed, but she faces uncharted territory in this sixth book of the Dreamwalker Mystery Series.

The Suitcase Killer has struck again, only this big city menace is now a problem for Baxley’s hometown. As that investigation heats up, a local woman is reported missing. The sheriff orders Baxley to work the missing person’s case.

Listening to the dead is familiar ground for Baxley but finding a missing young lady isn’t in her skill set. Besides, her dreams rarely follow a timeline. With the clock ticking, can this crime consultant discover a way to reach the living?

Her main source of help in the afterlife, a mentor named Rose, is unavailable. Instead, Baxley must rely on her wits and her Native American boyfriend, Deputy Sam Mayes, to find leads. Each shared dreamwalk and energy transfer binds them closer together, creating another issue. Mayes wants to marry Baxley but it isn’t that easy. They’re hampered by their community roles in opposite ends of the state.

Baxley juggles the pressure of two high-profile cases, a determined suitor, and expanding her limits. One thing is certain. Without her extrasensory sleuthing, the missing woman will die.

From the first scene, the author had me entrenched in the details as I wondered what did transpired with Baxley and Sam while they were sort of kidnapped while dreamwalking. This intriguing plot plus the case involving the Suitcase Killer have the duo facing a foe determine to stay hidden, when another woman goes missing. This sets the stage for this well-written and fast-paced drama that quickly became a page-turner.

The author does a great job in telling a suspenseful tale with visually descriptive narrative that puts me in the middle of the action. The players involved all had pivotal roles and it was the small little twists and turns that enhanced how well this story was being told.

The characterization of Baxley continues to astound me and I like where the author is going with her. So believable and I’m glad she has a partner to share her skills with.

As this drama moved forward with bits and pieces falling into place, the frenetic pacing to find the missing woman reached a high note and I couldn’t move until all was said and done. This is one of the best books in the series and I especially enjoyed the conclusion. I do hope we have more adventures with Bax, Sam, Larissa and the rest of the gang.
