FBI Special Agent and single mom Laura Frost, 35, is haunted by her talent: a psychic ability which she refuses to face and which she keeps secret from her colleagues.

Yet as much as Laura wants to be normal, she cannot turn off the flood of images that plague her at every turn: vivid visions of future killers and their victims.

And glimpses of what a killer may do next.

Laura's talent leads her deep—too deep—into the twisted minds of serial killers, all while keeping crucial details agonizingly out of view.

Will it help her save the next victim in time? ( )

A fairly standard thriller, but the protagonist has visions, which is how she solves cases. They give headaches though. And influence her alcoholism, due to guilt and fear and knowledge and pain. And her alcoholism is why she has lost access to her daughter--yet not her job as an FBI agent?

I liked the twist of visions, but as usual I am frustrated with all of the dead women. I'm hoping #2 will be less misogynistic, I will certainly give it a try assuming I manage to find it on hoopla at some point.

The WEIRDEST thing about this book? It takes place in DC and Albany. The characters are FBI agents, police, witnesses. The sole narrator is British--so a random convenience store owner in ALbany ends up with a Scottish accent (I think? it was different than the main characters' more standard British accent). WHY would they do it this way? It is annoying, weird, but also hilarious. ( )
