Took me a couple of stories to get into this
I'd caught just odd bits of this series on the radio but never listened to it properly. Encouraged by the good reviews I therefore purchased this audio book only to struggle a bit to start with. However once I did engage with this properly I thoroughly enjoyed - well worth a credit.

interesting take on a psychic intuition
Thomas doesnt like the word psychic. He prefers to call himself a 'sensitive'. He uses his gift to help find missing people. This audio book follows him through a series of cases, as he helps the police. it also follows Thomas over a period of time as he faces his own challenges and tries to find peace and manage life and relationships outside of his gift.
