Review: Top Notch Writing. Very Suspenseful. Authentic Crime Novel.
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is easily one of the better if not the best treatments I have ever read involving psychics and crime investigation - and believe me I have read a lot of screenplays and books with this theme. It works here because author Linda Prather smartly downplays everything and makes proceedings as realistic as possible. Her detectives are highly attuned, highly intuitive individuals, rather than people just experiencing 'visions.' The plot is told through character interactions that are compelling - we care what happens because we like Catherine and want her to succeed. These feel like real people with emotional depth. This is the kind of book that gives you that lump in the throat feeling as you read. It's convincing, exciting and not at all predictable, which is exactly what I look for in a book like this. I'm off to read more by this interesting thriller author who I was not aware of before. Good stuff.
