Severn House and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Flash Point. This is my honest opinion of the book.

Dr. Jenna Ramey, forensic psychiatrist for the FBI, is brought in on an unusual case comprised of a set of brutal murders at a bank. Nervous about her 3 year old daughter's first day at school, Jenna swallows down her misgivings and throws herself into the case. Jenna has her own set of abilities that are valuable at crime scenes, namely synesthesia. As the colors swirl around her, will Jenna be able to help the rest of the team solve the case? Will an unwanted and dangerous person from her past compromise someone Jenna loves?

When I chose this book, I was unaware of its status as part of a series. Although the author does bring in some background information that I can surmise is from previous books, I had trouble piecing together Jenna's past. It was distracting to the central story, the murder case that Jenna was called in to help solve. I almost wish that the author had not tried so hard to tie in the past. The information about the case itself dragged, as pages and pages were spent on the details gleaned from reviewing the videotapes from the bank. I was never able to grasp a connection with the characters or the feeling of urgency to solve the crime. This was clearly not the book for me, but readers who have read the previous books might like Flash Point.
