Product Description The only psychic ever to lecture at the FBI Academy, Noreen Renier has assisted law enforcement officials all over the world, working on over 400 criminal cases. From the discovery and development of her unique talents to becoming a respected figure in the police community, this is the true account of Noreen Renier's remarkable life and career.
Included here are the stories of: Her prediction of the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan. The client who was a professional mercenary. The police officer suspected of being a rapist and murderer. Her involvement in the Laci Peterson murder (she told the police where to find the body).
A Mind for Murder contains elements of true crime, memoir, and psychic mystery.
Loved this book!August 12, 2008 I have seen Ms Renier on T.V., along with other psychic detectives and enjoy watching these kinds of shows. And I found her book to be spell binding. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I especially liked the chapter on the Lacy Peterson disappearance & murder since it all played out in my local area. If you are at the very least remotely interested in how using a psychic can help solve crimes, you will enjoy this book.
Noreen's book- Mind for MurderAugust 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Noreen Renier's book was particularly helpful for me in that she outlined a structure that she uses with law enforcement. That structure helped to guide my own work in remote viewing in that it provides a structure that enables the remote viewer and the guide to get the most out of the session. I found her book, "Mind for Murder", to be professional, humorous, insightful and educational,especially if one is in this area of service. I enjoyed her book immensely and recommend it to others.
Renier's principal critic and nemesis reviews her new editionJuly 7, 2008 1 out of 4 found this review helpful
As Renier's "principal nemesis and major skeptic critic" the book A Mind For Murder is one I would never stop anyone from buying! Buyers who purchase the book will be supporting book royalties which are paying off Noreen Renier's creditors, including her principal creditor owed approximately 56% of her bankruptcy debt --- myself!
Toss in unpaid debts of her previous attorney and these book royalties could pay off more than 94% of her debts as of mid 2008.
Indeed the more who buy the latest edition of A Mind For Murder, the more the creditors in her bankruptcy get paid! William S. Lyon's book review also shown here incorrectly states that I stopped the first edition of the book. In fact it was a decision of Renier's own initial publisher and no one else --- a fact their attorneys stated before a judge. Lyon also fails to mention that Renier breached a 1992 Florida legal settlement agreement and the 2005 cause of action was only about her own breach, not hindering public disclosure about a highly disputed libel case in a small county court more than two decades ago! Mr. Lyon has stated "shamans can easily locate lost bodies, lost items, etc., via their shamanic powers, and I have seen this myself many times during my fieldwork." So Mr. Lyon's review of A Mind For Murder doesn't appear to be neutral or open to critically examining the claims within this new edition. Indeed he should first be checking his own book review posted here and on Renier's web site for accuracy.
In reviewing the new 2008 edition of A Mind For Murder it fails to mention that after a two year legal battle beginning in 2005 a Washington federal court ordered judgments against Noreen Renier in 2006 and 2007. This was not a ruling or decision by any skeptic, but a federal judge. It's unfortunate that author Renier felt that kind of information wasn't something readers would find interesting as these multiple court failures are completely absent, and were failures she had predicted she would win.
While the new edition offers better cover art and an enlarged size, it remains disappointing in my opinion. Fantasized fluff is sometimes appealing, but many of the claims are beyond exaggeration.
Those who might believe that comments such as a "high performance tested psychic" and "scientifically proven psychic" and "FBI examined and proven psychic" had better think again. Exaggeration again comes to mind.
Indeed the new edition unfortunately repeats a variety of claims and visions that were disputed in 2006 and 2007 by eye witnesses. Multiple witnesses now in 2008 are very harsh in their criticisms of events portrayed inaccurately in A Mind For Murder. Nonetheless readers should consider purchasing A Mind For Murder and then comparing for themselves with web sites that examine the real facts and events as they happened. Actually it might be best to actually purchase both the first 2005 edition and the new 2008 edition of A Mind For Murder as various claims and events have even been changed throughout the books. Readers will likely find such flip flopping claims and changes of further interest.
And the claim that skeptics don't want you to read this book?! That's simply more hog wash! PLEASE buy these books! And buy lots of copies for friends! But for a comparison of the real facts and events please examine the commercial free web site which takes its name from same title as the book, but with no spaces between A Mind For Murder. Just add the dot com and you can compare psychic facts versus psychic fantasies. And it's a win-win scenario when the web site is free. Good book reading! -John Merrell
A MIND FOR MURDERJuly 4, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Calling all Hollywood producers, Noreen Renier's new book, "A Mind for Murder," is a success as a fascinating autobiography of her real-life psychic detective case files and experiences. After reading the cases ya gotta wonder why the police didn't add her to the payroll of a big city like Los Angeles or New York. For 20 plus years, Noreen has assisted the police and individuals with cases related to poltergeists, missing people and even murder. I was surprised to read that her talents include levitation and healing through her hands. The high integrity of Noreen's character, her willingness to try new psychic methods and her comedic and light-hearted personality rings throughout each case. Her credibility record is spotless as the FBI has verified her psychic abilities, she's worked several times with the real FBI agent that the movie,"Silence of the Lambs," and the TV show "The X-Files," was based on. She even won a legal case against a skeptic. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants a fast ride in the world of psychic detectives.

A MIND FOR MURDERJuly 1, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
You are in for a special treat. This book is full of great stories and lots of details of Noreen's psychic adventures. She is the real deal. How many psychics could pass a 43 page report by the FBI and be called credible? Noreen explains how she goes into a trance and then actually becomes the victims and the murderers to help get clues when she is solving a case. That's just plain scary. She deserves a metal of courage! But wait, just when you think you can't take the gory details of the case any more, she makes you laugh with her humor and wit. 2 thumbs WAY up! Her life and adventures would make a great movie. I predict a TV series!
