Product Description

Product Description

The body of a U.S. soldier reported AWOL during the Korean War is found encased in a concrete pillar. What secret did he carry to his grave and why is someone hell-bent on keeping that secret buried? Detective Sergeant Samantha Casey has an advantage over other cops. The dead speak to her, tell her secrets about their life and death. But sometimes what she learns can get her killed. When the Dead Speak is a fast-paced, tension-filled joy ride sprinkled with humor, plot twists, romance, and a touch of Native American culture.

Very good! 22 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Detective Sergeant Samantha Casey has a "gift" from her Native American heritage. She is able to speak with the dead. Not words, but images. When a man's body is found encased in a cement pillar in a burb of Chicago, she is called in. The dead man has a golden pin shaped like a lightning bolt clutched in his hand.

Sam, with a little help from Jake and Tim (a boy computer genius/hacker), she unravels a complex case which dates back to the Korean War. The case gets worse as it connects to the death of her own father years ago.

I did not think this one would be good. A detective that is able to speak with the dead? Never work! I was wrong! This was an interesting book from the first page. The case gets more complex than I let on. Very good reading here!***

Sandra Tooley has created a great heroine in Sam Casey. Multi-faceted because of her Indian heritage, Sam faces the challenge of a mysterious murder and a new man in her life in a startling way. This book has so many twists and turns it was hard to take a break from it.

Not 5 stars! 16 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I bought this book based on the reviews - of 11 reviews 9 judged this book to be 5 stars. I cannot believe this to be right! Is it the author herself that has reviewed her book? Or her friends?

I found the book to be difficult to follow at times. I kept having to go back and re-read sections to understand the storyline. There were several "big" events that were not explained. Towards the end of the book a person were shown to be involved in the main plot but there was no explanation of why or how - it was just revealed in a few words and then that was the last of that. The plot and the characters were not well developed. It is a nice enough book to read to pass the time - but a 5 star it is not!

I notice that on Kindle the 1st book is ranked number 677 on the sales rank list while the 2nd book is ranked number 38,704. I would think that might be a sign that the 1st book was not interresting enough to buy the 2nd in the series?

No good
This book cost me 49p and that is 49p wasted. Artless, awkward, disjointed - the story is a disappointment. The fact that it's listed under 'Fantasy' is a joke. Read more
