Product Description
"Popular television reporter Hallie Moore seems to have it all. She's young, single, attractive, and her signature ""best of"" segments -- Hallie's Comets -- seem primed to send her career sky-high. Yet Hallie is haunted by the unsolved rape and murder of her identical twin, Heather. On the first anniversary of the brutal crime, Hallie visits her sister's memorial and -- suddenly, inexplicably -- experiences her twin's memories of the murder. Convinced she's been touched by Heather's spirit, Hallie recalls the near telepathic bond the two shared during childhood. Is it possible that bond persists -- even from beyond the grave? Compelled to solve her twin's murder, Hallie finds herself drawn to Heather's husband and six-year-old son and, unknowingly, puts herself into the killer's lethal orbit. For in his twisted mind, he believes he's been given a chance to commit the perfect murder...again. "

 Pretty good but not great August 28, 2007
I am a fan of the Wendy Ward novels and decided to give this one a try. It was OK, but a little disappointing. I liked the premise, but it seemed like it took a long time to build any suspense or to head in any kind of direction. Then the final climax scene was a bit of a let down, too. It seemed to me this book could have been either a lot shorter or a lot more complex. But it was not terrible. It's worth a read, especially if you are a Passarella fan.

Kindred Spirit brings us into the lives of Hallie and Heather, twins who share a very special bond. As it happens, Hallie and Heather can speak to each other without talking and it's not until Heather falls from a tree and breaks her arm that things between them become different. Years later, having begun separate lives (Hallie as an up and coming news reporter and Heather as a wife and mother), Heather is murdered quite brutally. Even with this tragic event, life seems to be moving forward normally...that is until the one year anniversary rolls around. Hallie goes to the memorial site and upon touching the cross that marks the site, she is transported to the night of her sister's brutal attack and relives it in every grisly detail and from here on out, things are never quite the same for Hallie. Once the vision is over, she finds her sisters heart pendent in the grass at the site of her attack and she knows instantly that the murderer has recently visited the site.
From this moment on things in Hallie's life become less than ideal, she's having trouble on the job, she's losing time, constantly tired, feeling a much stronger connection to her brother-in-law and nephew and doing things that she's never done before...things that Heather used to do and it's at this point that she knows she has to figure out who killed her sister. What follows is a kind of supernatural amateur sleuth story that is both frightening and suspenseful.
Hallie uses her connection to the news station, her psychic connection to her dead sister and her own wit and wisdom to work on solving this mystery before the killer strikes again. For me Kindred Spirit was a tad predictable, as I figured out what was going on and the ending well before it ended, but still enjoyable. I wouldn't be inclined to add this to my permanent collection, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes amateur mysteries with a paranormal bent. I give it a B, it's not a bad way to spend a few hours being entertained, but it's not the best out there.

John Passarella's KINDRED SPIRIT is a creepy, ghostly chiller that will keep you turning the pages into the wee hours of the morning.
It has been one year to the day since Heather Galloway was murdered, leaving behind her husband, Tom Galloway, her five-year-old son, Shane, and her twin sister, Hallie Moore, who is a popular television reporter in Philadelphia, Pa. In memoriam on this day, Hallie drives to the country roadside monument the family erected in loving memory of the murdered Heather, whose killer the police never identified and caught, leaving the murder unsolved.
Alone at the site, Hallie experiences a psychic connection with Heather, something she has not felt since the sisters were children, when Heather suffered a concussion that closed off the telepathy that had once existed between them. Stunned by the experience, in which she feels herself in Heather's body at the time of her murder, Hallie struggles to see who the killer is, but fails to identify him. When she comes out of the trance, she finds Heather's gold photo-locket and chain in the field where she died.
Hallie knows Heather somehow contacted her, and led her to the missing piece of jewelry: Hallie also believes that if she can further channel her dead twin, she will solve the murder and find the killer. What Hallie does not realize, however, is that the killer has already found her, and plans to commit the perfect murder twice. Can Hallie survive not only the apparent possession of her body by her dead twin, but also the deadly intentions of a crazed killer who is stalking her?
Highly recommended reading, with all the lights on!

I've been a big fan of Passarella's Wendy Ward novels and couldn't wait to get my hands on Kindred Spirit. Once again, he doesn't disappoint.
Kindred Spirit is an intriguing supernatural suspense novel that will have you flipping pages long into the night. You really get into the lives of the main characters and feel their fear as they plummet into the unknown. I won't spoil it, but there's a scene involving a pair of ghost hunters that is not to be missed. Definitely hair raising!
I'd say this is a great summer read, but that would not be entirely true. This is a great read any time of year.

With the publishing of Kindred Spirit, Jack has written a thriller which should appeal to most readers of mysteries. It's not hard to buy in to the idea that identical twins share auras and experiences which the rest of us never know.
As always Passarella's character development is superb. His characters quickly become real, and the settings are easy to imagine. It becomes obvious that he spent many hours researching the places he describes to us. The Philadelphia Zoo; the TV studio; detective work; all are incredibly detailed and real.
This book was hard to put down. I look forward to more works by Jack and would love to see Kindred Spirit as a movie. Sure would beat most of the movies for which I see previews today!
