From Publishers Weekly
Laura Wade foresees a murder and fears that she may have willed it to occur; only after a string of bizarre coincidences and the discovery of a similarly psychic murderess in Laura's family tree do the authorities begin to take her seriously. According to PW , this "never achieves the suspense that might have been engendered through more sophisticated prose and believable dialogue."

From Library Journal
Psychiatrist David Goldman's world changes dramatically when the New York police ask him to pick up one of his clients at the local precinct. Wealthy heiress Laura Gardner Wade has confessed to the brutal murder of a woman. An eyewitness states that the killer was a man, but because Laura's confession is so detailed the police do nothing but try to prove her guilt. Laura's clairvoyance and the mutual attraction growing between her and Goldman jeopardize her sanity as well as her safety. In this first novel Dorf tells a decent story but fails to develop her plot and characters adequately. Since there is only one other suspect and little suspense, the ending is unconvincing and unsatisfying. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club alternates.
