Even in short story format, Ms. Picoult manages to catch the reader from the first sentence and does not let go until the final word.  Not easy to do without lengthy plot lines, character development, or in depth dialogue. The main character, Serenity, is a TV celebrity psychic who is at the top of her game until she has on a new widow of a war veteran.  It turns out his death was not at the hands of the enemy and Serenity is his means to let the world know.  Of course, a missing child of a prominent Senator thrown into the mix can't hurt to move this amazing story along rapid fire.  Pun intended.
