Natalie Lindstrom was once one of an elite group of investigators with the power to interview the dead victims of violent crime. But now Natalie has had enough. Enough of the violence. Enough of the darkness that has already gotten too close to her five-year-old daughter. Yet as she tries to build a new life and protect her child from the world she has left, Natalie still knows injustice when she sees it. And she knows that in a high-profile California trial, a young man is getting away with murder. The case against Prescott Hyland Jr. is airtight–until a corrupt Violet delivers devastating testimony against another man. Now Natalie is being drawn back into her former career and a danger far worse than she can imagine. For while one killer is being tried in a courtroom, another has gone horribly free: to unleash a storm of vengeance–aimed straight for the heart of Natalie’s new life. Because, in the world of the Violets, sometimes your past can literally come back to haunt you. . . .… (more)

Violets, recognized by their violet eyes, have a very special ability. They can talk to the souls of the dead. Unfortunately not all of the dead want to willingly leave when they are finished speaking. Natalie always thought her mother was imagining a man she called "The Thrasher", a murderer that had already killed several violets. Now he wants to do much more than just speak. ( )

Sequel to With Violet Eyes. Another serial killer novel with a twist. Violet Natalie Lindstrom is just trying to raise her daughter when her conscience drags her into helping prove that a young man is getting away with murder.I enjoyed this book and its prequel, and look forward to the next installment.

Good follow-up to With Violet Eyes. It’s five years later and Natalie is a free-lance Violet supporting her daughter while trying to keep her away from the NAACC. When a prosecutor friend asks her for help in case, Natalie is drawn into a serial killer case. ( )
