Book Description:
Nicole Baker is a quiet girl - the type of person who is seldom noticed by anyone. That is until one day she discovers she has the unique ability to see images move on photographs. At first, she uses her ability to entertain friends at parties and work. Then senior detective Paul Hammond learns of her ability and enlists her help in a case of unsolved murders that he has not been able to make any headway on.
Carl Kadner, a rookie reporter with the local paper is investigating the murders as well. And he learns what it takes to be the kind of reporter he wants to be when he puts himself in danger for the sake of the story. It is only when Carl, Nicole and Detective Hammond pool their resources that things start making sense.

A unique murder mystery told through they eyes of three very different people trying to solve the crime as well as the murderer. It did take me a little while to get into the story as the first few chapters jump from different points of view to introduce characters. Nicole's gift reeled me into the story it was so distinctive and she seemed to have a bond with the women who were being taken as well as the murderer. Along with Nicole, Will's story drew me in. The scenes where Will was tracking, killing and dismembering were gruesome in detail. I was also intrigued by the insight into his mind and what he was seeing and feeling. The medical details of the writing were very accurate and detailed as well. The reasons why the killings were done was the real mystery here, and it was truly disturbing, but I'm glad Carl was able to get the details out of Will. The ending was thrilling and surprising as the cat-and-mouse game comes to an end, but not without a few twists. One thing that bothered me at the end was that the reason for Nicole's intense connection with Will was never explained. Overall, a thrilling, threatening and surprising murder mystery.
