Reporter Gera Stapleton has a difficult choice to make: write the story of a lifetime or save the legacy of a town—and a man—she has come to love. Assigned to a piece in Jerome, Arizona about a once-friendly ghost gone on a crime spree, Gera stumbles upon an amazing tale of greed, deception, and family honor—and murder. When the killer targets her as the next victim, an unlikely savior comes to her rescue. Smart dialogue, plenty of action, and a touch of the supernatural make this a must-read novel."Becki Willis blends bits of history with bits of fancy and weaves a tantalizing tale you won't soon forget."

Most days I think the internet is a wonderful thing, especially for an information-junkie like myself. At the touch of my fingers I can find out the answer to just about any question I can think of. But lately I’ve been thinking about how the internet has taken away a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world. As a child, I would lie on the grass in my yard, stare up at the sky and wonder about things like: how far away is the sun? why is the sky blue? how are clouds formed? Today, I would just Google it. But there are still some questions that cannot be answered by Google, and reading Tangible Spirits by Becki Willis reminded me that there are still many unknowns that are worth thinking about and pondering.
“There are things in life that are beyond explanation. The smell of the mountain air after a spring rain. The beauty of a sunset beyond those hills yonder. The translucent prisms of a rainbow across the clear Arizona sky...And the eternal and often tangible spirits of life.”
This quote, from one of the most interesting characters in the book, addresses that sense of the unexplainable and mysterious un-knowing that I miss in the internet age. But all the technology in the world still cannot tell us if “Dead is dead,” or whether ghosts really do, or do not, exist.
In Tangible Spirits, the main character is Gera (short for “Geraldine”) Stapleton, an ambitious journalist who got a bit of a late start to her hard-won career, and she is eager to make a name for herself. Imagine her consternation when she is assigned to write a story about Jerome, Arizona, a town of less than 500 residents, where ghosts are the main attraction - especially one named “Mac,” who has gone from friendly to fiendish lately.
As someone who absolutely does not believe in ghosts, Gera will be in for a surprise when, shortly after arriving in town, she happens upon a murder scene - and the main suspect is Mac, the ghost.
Filled with well-developed characters, snappy dialogue, a touch of romance, and interesting historical descriptions of the very real town of Jerome, Arizona, Becki Willis has written an excellent paranormal mystery that will keep you turning the pages. Although I did figure out a few little mysteries along the way, there were a number of unexpected surprises that I did not see coming. Other readers must feel the same way, because Tangible Spirits was named the Best Paranormal Fiction for 2018 by the Association of Texas Authors!
This book led me to wonder, again, about the bigger mysteries in life, and reminded me that I have also “seen things. Heard things, felt things. Sensed things. Things that cannot be readily explained.” As one of the characters in the book says: "Call them what you may, but we have tangible spirits among us.”
Enjoy this engaging mystery, but be warned: you will be looking out of the corner of your eye at unexplained shadows for a few days!
I received a copy of Tangible Spirits from Lone Star Book Blog Tours and the author in exchange for my honest review of the book.
To the delight of readers around the world, Becki Willis writes memorable characters in believable situations. Best known for Forgotten Boxes and The Sisters, Texas Mystery Series, Becki has won numerous awards, but says her biggest achievement is her family and her loyal reader base.
