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.

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!

I saw her work on Court TV and she is amazing. The book is a fun read and if you like Court TV, Law and Order and the current show Medium--You'll love this book. I hope there are plans for a follow-up book, because I read this during a long car trip and couldn't put it down, I was even reading pages of it out loud to my husband a real cynic and even he was impressed -- Buy this book, get in a comfortable position and keep the lights on because its going to be a long night with a great book.

I don't feel like I need to say much about Noreen's talent. She's one of the top police psychics in the business, highly experienced and with a long track record of success. This is one woman whose gift is genuine. Perhaps the real surprise here is that she's also a highly talented writer.

There are a lot of reasons to like this book. If you like a gripping story, this is full of them! Case after case of psychic readings she has done over the years -- many of them murders Noreen Renier has 'experienced' psychically (from the viewpoints of the murderers as well as the victims) while helping the police, FBI, and concerned family members solve a crime. If you're a policeman (or like me, a parapsychologist), it gives you useful tips for how to work with a professional psychic and get the most out of him or her. Lastly, if you're a psychic, it teaches you some handy tips for how to approach your craft, including the advantages of information sheets (detailed in the book) to guide those who seek your help.

I've read a number of autobiographical accounts by psychics over the years. This is the best of them. Not only is the material fascinating -- you won't want to put the book down until you're done -- but it's well-organized (a trait that few psychics have) and told in a casual style which makes you feel like you're relaxing with Noreen over a cup of coffee, listening to her talk about her life. She comes across as a smart, shrewd, funny woman, one who is fun to be around and a pleasure to read about.

I highly recommend this book to anyone. Buy it. Then settle down and prepare for a really good read!

Noreen Renier's book was particularly helpful for me in that she outlined a structure that she uses with law enforcement. That structure helped to guide my own work in remote viewing in that it provides a structure that enables the remote viewer and the guide to get the most out of the session. I found her book, "Mind for Murder", to be professional, humorous, insightful and educational,especially if one is in this area of service.
I enjoyed her book immensely and recommend it to others.

What is a police psychic really? Is it just fodder for TV shows for dramatic purposes? "A Mind for Murder: The Real-Life Files of a Psychic Investigator" is the look at the bizarre profession through the eyes of Court TV's Noreen Renier, formerly a skeptic of psychics herself. She speaks on what exactly they do, how they are treated in the world of law enforcement, while telling entertaining stories of her own such as her involvement with the infamous Laci Peterson case. "A Mind for Murder: The Real-Life Files of a Psychic Investigator" is highly recommended to community library true crime collections and all interested in the world of the police psychic.

I found the book to be fascinating, and sometimes chilling. I've never before taken the concept of "psychic detective" seriously. Now I'm wondering.

Very good read. I would have liked the author to spend more time discussing her feelings about the sudden onset of her psychic ability. She spends surprisingly little time describing how it must have felt to suddenly be able to see and feel events from other peoples' lives. I also would have liked the book to have been laid out more chronologically and explain how Renier developed her psychic skills over time. Otherwise, a very interesting book.

You are in for a special treat. This book is full of great stories and lots of details of Noreen's psychic adventures. She is the real deal. How many psychics could pass a 43 page report by the FBI and be called credible? Noreen explains how she goes into a trance and then actually becomes the victims and the murderers to help get clues when she is solving a case. That's just plain scary. She deserves a metal of courage! But wait, just when you think you can't take the gory details of the case any more, she makes you laugh with her humor and wit. 2 thumbs WAY up! Her life and adventures would make a great movie. I predict a TV series!
