I liked this book, but I found it quite cheesy when the author used a girl that has visions to progress the story.
I have not read the first book in the series because my mother does not believe in starting from the beginning when buying books. I did think it was odd that everyone kept talking about this other case that never became relevant to the book until I realised that Chris Carter had already written an entire book about that case wherein apparently important things happened. Also, this book had a ridiculous number of chapters. Seriously, you do not need to insert chapter breaks in to the middle of conversations.
Generally with these sorts of books I find that the author creates an awesome, tense build up and then there reveal is a let down, but in this case I found the reveal super satisfying but struggled a bit getting there. I hated one of the subplots and found *spoilery plotpoint relating to that* kind of jarring but interesting.
It was just okay. I might check out the first in the series from the library if I get bored.
ETA: wow, this has a lot of really positive reviews. I'm pretty surprised by that, not gonna lie. A few gory murder scenes gets you a long way!
