Chasing Evil: Shocking Crimes, Supernatural Forces, and an FBI Agent’s Search for Hope and Justice by John Edward

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This memoir by Robert Hilland (GR has John Edward's name up first, and it's not really written by him other than one chapter but that's a recognizable name) is interesting. I thought it was well written and a good look into Hilland's head. Memoirs can be a bit dry. This was not. However, how much of this you believe is how much do you believe in psychics. For context for younger readers, John Edward's Crossing Over (talking to those who're gone) was hugely popular in the early 00s.

It took me a moment to recognize the case that took up the first half of Hilland's narrative. It was interesting to see how he first came into John Edward's orbit, the things they had in common and his initial disbelief in John's abilities (whether or not the reader believes in it, Hilland came to be a believer).

So this deals with how John impacted Hilland's investigations and in a few cases predicted things that may have saved his life. If you're coming into this just for the true crime aspect of it, this might influence your opinion one way or the other since it's very much about John's psychic abilities.

I would have liked to see more than one chapter by John in this. We don't have much of him in this other than what is filtered by Hilland. Over all I did enjoy this.
