The Girl Who Disappeared Twice (Forensic Instincts, #1)

by Andrea Kane

For the most part I really loved this. My biggest issue was the inclusion of the clairvoyant. I don't mind reading about psychics. And I like crime. But I'm not a huge fan of mixing the two. While Claire seemed like an alright character, her insights into Krissy's mind annoyed me. I had to work hard to ignore it. I could've accepted it had she been more like Shawn from Psych. Her own view that it's just precognition was acceptable. But seeing visions of how Krissy was feeling was just a step too far for me.

But that was my biggest issue. The rest of the book was enjoyable. I liked the cast of characters. The mystery was interesting, if a little predictable. The romance between Hutch and Casey was alright, although the sex scene was a bit out of left field. It was rather graphic for what was otherwise mostly a crime novel. Although this was long, the pages flew by. I'll definitely be picking up more of the series. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
