From Publishers Weekly
Edgar-finalist Salter, after four books in her Dr. Michael Stone series (Prison Blues, etc.), introduces a heroine with an unusual gift in this solid suspense novel. Breeze Copens, a forensic psychologist specializing in assessing sex offenders, must recommend that Daryl Collins be released from prison because, on paper, he's not a threat. But Breeze is also a synesthete—someone who sees colors and designs when she hears sounds—and may have paranormal powers, so she knows Daryl's dangerous. To prove it, she travels to Dallas, where she meets Daryl's vicious half-brother and partner in crime, Leroy, one of Salter's most sinister villains. Meanwhile, Breeze agrees to care for Lily, the troubled adolescent daughter of her drug-addled childhood friend, Jena. Breeze winds up having to cope with increasing threats from both Leroy and Jena's abusive husband. Despite some clumsy plot devices and weak characterization, the book builds to a satisfying conclusion. The tensions in Breeze's professional life alternate nicely with poetic evocations of the peaceful North Carolina coastal island where she lives. (Feb.)

From Booklist
Readers can be forgiven for assuming that this novel about a psychic forensic psychologist is designed to capitalize on the success of the television shows Medium and Ghost Whisperer especially since the author has traded in her usual forensic psychologist, Michael Stone, for a female protagonist, Breeze Copens. But Salter is too good a writer to be quite so derivative, and the novel generates considerable suspense, despite the familiarity of its theme. Copens, an endearing enough heroine, has two related mysteries on her plate: determining if a prison inmate who claims to be born again is lying, as well as establishing the identity of the little girl who appeared to her while she was interviewing the inmate. Readers who have no patience with paranormal mysteries won't find anything here to change their minds, but those who aren't bothered by the mixture should give it a thumbs-up. David Pitt
