Clay Thomas teaches
math and is a baseball coach, but he has a secret; he has the ability to move
things with his mind (telekinesis). He can also read minds and plant thoughts; only
his friends the Drs. Zander and Lydia Frauss know of his skills. Clay is in
mourning for his wife Jessie who he believes was killed because of his secrecy
and use of his talents. Clay is also worrying about his son Tanner who is
developing the same abilities and more. He worries about Tanner’s ability to
handle such power. Dr. Zander Frauss has been helping both of them deal with
their gifts. Lydia and Zander are worried about his depression so they give him
a mystery to hopefully solve and a people to help.
Erika Payne’s
husband disappeared seven years ago after a train accident, that her son Logan (then
ten years old)was able to walk away from. Logan has never spoken about that
day. He is withdrawn and says very little. These are the two people the Drs.
Fraus would like Clay Thomas and his son Tanner to help.
This is where
the story begins and the mystery piece by piece begins to unfold. The writer Mr.
La Ferney has carefully crafted a mystery with characters that are engaging and
interesting. With the book Skeleton Key, the reader gets a captivating mystery,
but you also get to know the characters and their growth. You see them in their
everyday life playing sports, and doing what they normally do making it easier
for the reader to identify with the characters.
Without giving away the story I can tell you the main characters learn more
about their paranormal gifts, how to use them and we learn about the other
engaging characters in the novel seeing how they change for knowing the Thomas’s.
The clues are layered liberally through the book for the reader to follow of
what happened to Adrian Payne, but Mr. La Ferney is a superb plotter and keeps
the reader guessing until the very end. A captivating book the reader won’t be
able to put down.

Thank you,Sheilagh. When you agreed to read and review Skeleton Key, I never expected such special treatment. I can't say thank you loud enough and long enough. I hope you enjoy Bulletproof as much or more. I'll join the site and be a faithful follower.
