This was better than it had any right to be. Could have been even better if the romantic background story between the two main characters, Miranda and Bishop, had not distracted from what really mattered, namely the serial killer mystery and the application of psychic powers to solve it. (

Miranda Knight is a small town sheriff running from her past with FBI Special Agent Noah Bishop. However, a series of murders brings them back together. As they work out the deep problems with their relationship and the protection of Miranda's adept sister, the murders start piling up. Using a combination of their special skills, the murderer is finally brought to justice, but the cost seems very high. Good suspense. (

Good read!! Bishop at last finds the one he's been looking for in the last 2 books ... yay!; and Bishop & Miranda make a great couple.

The case itself was also good - very interesting, and creepy serial murders, a definite page turner.

So far I've enjoyed all of Hooper's books - looking forward to the next one. (

It begins with the disappearence of three teenagers in a small town in Tenessee. Hooper soon introduces us to Miranda Bishop, the sheriff, with a mysterious past, and the dark mystery man FBI agent, Noah Bishop. As these characters interact sparks begin to fly and you are caught up in a great mystery with the added dazzle of pyschic abilities. Kay Hooper writes about the paranormal in such a way to make it all believable. She doesn't go overboard with it. I highly recommend this whole series. It would be a good idea to read them in order to get the full effect. (

This is the 3rd book in the Bishop series. It was the first opportunity to meet Miranda who is the Sheriff of the town of Gladstone. After three teenagers are tortured and murdered, she calls in Noah Bishop, FBI Profiler and head of the Special Crimes Unit (SCU). As the two teams, the county sheriff's department and the FBI unit, work together to find the psychotic killer, we learn about Miranda and Noah's troubled history. I enjoyed both the story of finding the killer and the story of Miranda and Noah and how the past and present intertwine. The use of psychic abilities in the story did not overwhelm the plot, but added an interesting element. I am definitely going to read another one of the Bishop trilogies. (
