A romantic interlude between Maggie and John lends the story a degree of warmth, but not enough to lift this paranormal thriller above the tepid. I like Kay Hooper portray of her characters and the way they intertwine with each other.

I love reading books in this series, and Touching Evil did not disappoint. Also, the readers will be surprised by the twist at the ending Touching Evil. The lack of communication between the police, John's team and Maggie is frustrating, and for all the novel's buildup, the final unmasking of evil is anticlimactic. The readers of Touching Evil will go on a rollercoaster ride to find the rapist. Frustrated by the police's lack of progress, John Garrett, the wealthy and well-connected brother of one of the victims, recruits two FBI agents who possess special psychic abilities. Although her ability to experience another's pain enables her to sketch an uncanny likeness of a perpetrator's face, she's unable to draw the face of a rapist who removes his victims' eyes, wears a mask and covers his natural odor with Ivory soap. Maggie is a talented police sketch artist and a troubled empath. When two seers, an empath and a ghost join forces to rid Seattle of a monster, two predictable things occur: the characters spend more time trying to convince skeptics of their powers than solving the case, and the heroine, Maggie Barnes, becomes one of the fiend's next targets. The first installment of Hooper's 'Evil' series capitalizes on the popularity of her gothic 'Shadows' thrillers ( Out of the Shadows Stealing Shadows) but will disappoint readers who are longing for more than a simple retelling of a familiar plot.
