Special Agent Isabel Adams of the FBI's Special Crimes Unit, the elite unit made up of psychic agents, is assigned to investigate a series of horrific murders in Hastings, SC. Isabel is a top notch profiler and clairvoyant. Her partner, Hollis Templeton, is a medium. Together with local Police Chief, Rafe Sullivan, they pool their skills and resources, paranormal and otherwise, to catch the serial killer menacing the town - a killer who epitomizes evil.

Obviously Agent Adams is beautiful, blonde, sexy, smart, savvy, a martial arts expert, sharpshooter and an excellent investigator. Police Chief Sullivan isn't bad on the eyes either. Yes. Sparks fly...with paranormal results.

I like Kay Hooper's psychic series. However, my favorites are "Out Of The Shadows," featuring Noah Bishop who heads the Special Crimes Unit, and Sheriff Miranda Knight, and "Stealing Shadows." "Sense of Evil" held my interest and is a good light read, if somewhat gruesome. However, it doesn't hold up to the high standards Kay Hooper set in the above mentioned novels. The characters here are less developed, not as complex, and the story is somewhat formulaic. The mystery is a good one, however. It kept me guessing to the end!
