“Linda M. Williams’s gripping and captivating murder mystery, The
Stalking Spirit, is filled with paranormal activity. The story started
right in the middle of the action and never let up. I was engrossed
in this book from the beginning and found myself flipping through
the pages. The plot was captivating, and it was impossible to put
the book down until I reached the amazing resolution. Each
character had an amazing past and was brought to life with
exquisite detail. JJ was a charming, endearing person, despite her
reputation for stubbornness. JJ’s fear of the spirit was evident
throughout a few well-described incidents. This is the kind of novel
that presents readers with terrifying and spine-tingling situations
while building suspense and mystery through an utterly captivating
story.”
“The Stalking Spirit was a pleasant revelation to me. Paranormal and
psychic tales are not my genre generally but this is a fantastic
story, with an intriguing and twisting plot that will keep readers
guessing until the end. Author Linda Williams has tapped into an
interesting phenomenon that she explores and develops
marvelously. JJ is a complicated character and this story slowly
introduces her particular foibles to readers new to this series. As a
psychic, she has often wondered if her abilities are a gift or a curse.
There is little doubt that her friends and helpers fully believe it to
be a gift, especially as she has helped them solve cases in the past.
However, the lead detective’s skepticism and outright hostility
toward any suggestion that JJ might communicate with the dead
form a major part of the tension and conflict in the narrative. I
particularly enjoyed the wide range of potential suspects that were
narrowed down and then expanded as new twists came to light. A
good murder/mystery always leaves the reader guessing until the
last chapter, and this story certainly did that for me. This is a
wonderful read that I highly recommend.”
“The greatest thing about reading a mystery novel is trying to figure
out who committed the crime before the end of the book. When you
cannot figure this out, you know it is a great mystery. The Stalking
Spirit by Linda M. Williams is one of those mysteries. The novel
takes so many twists and turns that you won’t be able to guess who
the murderer is until the last few pages. The characters are another
excellent element in this story. Every character is unique and came
to life while I was reading The Stalking Spirit. It takes an exceptional
writer to create a character who stays with you long after you have
closed the book. JJ, as a character, stayed with me for a while. The
Stalking Spirit is undoubtedly a mystery novel you won’t regret
reading.”
