Narration During Books Touching Evil (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit #4)
Sometimes evil lingers so close, you can feel it....Seattle police sketch artist Maggie Barnes has an extraordinary gift. She listens as traumatized crime victims describe their ordeals -- and then uses those horrifying recollections to draw dead-on sketches of the assailants.
Some cops think Maggie is telepathic, that she can actually enter the victims' minds. Only Maggie knows the truth behind her rare talent ... and she isn' t telling.
But her secret may be exposed when a madman seizes Seattle in his terrifying grip. He abducts women and blinds them, leaving them barely alive.
The police have one hope: the lone victim who might recover her sight. But they don' t know that Maggie has her own dark connection to the monster -- an eerie link that may stretch back to a string of unsolved murders.
To stop the escalating terror, Maggie will have to push her abilities to the breaking point -- even if it means confronting a predator whose powers seem to have no bounds....

October 2014 Pretty great :)June 2018 This is one of my favorites in this series.I'd read a couple of Kay Hooper's lighter romance novellas before starting this book, and those in no way prepared me for this. This story is dark, creepy, and actually kept me guessing about who the villain was. I usually have that figured out a quarter of the way through a book, so keeping me in suspense is a mark in this book's favor.
Touching Evil4 StarsQuickie ReviewGood thriller with interesting characters and a clever plot.Nevertheless, the romance is somewhat contrived and there could have been more clues to the killer's identity. The climax is compelling and the resolution very satisfying (one of the more unique I have encountered in this genre).It should be note that the book contains grisly details and gory descriptions so it is not for the weak of heart.
Maggie Barnes, is able to draw police sketches by talking with crime victims. Her gift was paranormal and she tried to stay out of the limelight. She is called in to talk to the latest victim, Hollis Templeton about the attack that had almost taken her life and had literally taken her sight. She meets John Garrett, the brother of one of the victims, of this serial killer. John is a businessman that has quite a few connections that allow him to join in the hunt. Together John and Maggie work
These are sometimes super weird. Also, the binge reading I'm doing means that characters have started to blend together. Wasn't there someone named Andy in the last book I read? Oh well, onward to more Kay Hooper!(twins in this book are sad and unfortunate)
There is a serial rapist/killer in Seattle and a group of cops, including paranormally gifted cops, trying to catch this person. There are links to the past, a re-incarnated killer (a very likely concept to my mind) and look-alike victims.The story is well written, the pace trots along nicely, never slackens or becomes uninteresting. Somewhat gruesome, but overall I thought it was good.
One of the scariest things for many people is to be completely out of control of their lives. To be so at the mercy of others - particularly when those others wish to do them harm. When people do their worst, some of us survive, though, and come out of the experience very much changed. Hollis is one of those survivors. Dragging herself by the tips of her fingers from the depths of hell, to be found and taken back to safety. But she will never see the world the same again. Her would-be killer
