This review is from: A Mind for Murder: The Real-Life Files of a Psychic Investigator (Paperback)

It took me less than two weeks to read Noreen's book, and then, I wanted to read it again.

I think that everyone should read her book. Noreen Renier is very talented, and she's excelent at what she does. This book could open the eyes of so many people; it would let them see inside the psychic world, which is unknown to most people. Its very fascenating and interesting to read it, and see how she learned and grew over the years to later become a Psychic Investigator.

The book was written in the way that I like best. As I read it, I could emagine and picture in my mind everything she wrote about, the stories she told, the things that happened to her; it was all so clear to me how and why she bacame what she is today.

Noreen is the most experienced, most credible psychic I know, and she's the greatest! I have seen other psychics and have read other materials related to psychics, but no one and nothing else out there could ever come close to being anything like Noreen Renier.

Her book, "A Mind For Murder," tells everything about the true life files of NOREEN RENIER.

Really interesting biography on the awakening of psychic abilities. Gives you a real inside look at how psychic investigator works. You will recognize this psychic if you watch Court TV's Psychic Dectective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on intuition., July 1, 2005

This review is from: A Mind for Murder: The Real-Life Files of a Psychic Investigator (Paperback)

I read a lot of books on psychic abilities, experiences and how the authors' skills are developed/honed. I have to say this is one of the better ones aside from some minor grammatical errors. It keeps you interested and I finished it quickly. Some books laid out the psychic experiences like a straight transcript devoid of all feelings, and which creates a lot of empty spaces on the pages. I'm glad this book wasn't written that way. There were some instances when I was confused as to whom Noreen was "being", but that's why I have the book so I can always look back & forth a few lines to be sure. I've been anticipating this book since before it was released and Noreen doesn't disappoint. I'm glad for the paperback release as well, since I don't want to spend over $20 for a book without reviews yet. If you are intrigue by psychic abilities, read this, you won't be disappointed!
