Loved this book. True crime mixed with spiritual work is my kind of combination. I couldn’t put it down.

2.5 stars
Lost steam at the end. Definitely interested in the cases but.. I don't know. Something annoyed me.

Debbie will often see visions of a crime being committed, but then later on in a chapter says things like 'it looks like we'll never really know what happened'. But didn't she already see in detail what happened!
Like most psychics and mediums, it is not an exact science, but why is SHE surprised when she gets it spot on?
Ultimately Debbie has an amazing ability and can reconnect people to their loved ones
who have passed and give them
information about their deaths, but it doesn't appear her skills are actually useful to get a conviction or even to find bodies.
The book also wasn't very well written;
the book needed to be edited much better - there was so much pointless repetition and the description of pointless information. If it had been edited better, I would have given it 3 stars.

This book amazing! It's about Debbie Malone who is a psychic medium and helps the Police as they work on cases.
The book details several Australian murders, most of them unsolved.
I'm fascinated with anything to do with psychics working on unsolved crimes and what a bonus that this book focused on Australian cases.
Debbie speaks about the victims with the utmost respect and embraces her gift of being about to communicate with the spirit world, passing on messages to the family members.
It's a sad book because of all the victims and what they had to endure at the hands of others.
I really enjoyed it and hope that it brings about some new information on these cases so that the perpetrators are caught.

Not as scary as her first book, I was able to finish this at night. However, as a result, not as vicarious.

I find her repetitious style tedious.

Australian author Debbie Malone is a psychic, clairvoyant and medium and was the 2013 Australian Psychic of the Year. She can receive visions from the living and the dead, the past, present and future, and convey messages to loved ones.
As if this isn't enough, Debbie has also assisted Australian Police with missing persons cases and murder investigations for more than twenty years. Despite having been on several TV shows, I first saw Debbie when she worked on the TV show Sensing Murder so I was understandably keen to read her book. (Love that show).
In Clues From Beyond - True Crime Stories from Australia's #1 Psychic Detective, Debbie shares her insights on several well-known cases in Australia and it makes for gripping reading.
If you're going to read Clues From Beyond, (or books like it), it's important to know that psychics often aren't able to solve a case on their own. Just as a case isn't solved with DNA alone, or police surveillance alone, a psychic detective is just one of many resources involved in solving a case. On page 8, Debbie herself says: "I am an investigative resource who can be utilised by police to pick up information that may provide new lines of inquiry in an unsolved crime." I think readers need to keep that in mind when reading books like these.
Debbie's insights are remarkable and I enjoyed the format chosen for the book and the cases she writes about. When reading about the case of Kerry Whelan, I was incredibly frustrated, (as I'm sure Debbie is too) that Detectives won't/haven't searched underneath Bruce Burrell's shearing shed for the remains of Dorothy Davis because it was outside the scope of the case she was on. They were looking for the remains of Kerry Whelan during which time Debbie received this information and it wasn't acted upon. Argh! I just want someone to dig up that shearing shed damn it!
After reading Clues From Beyond I definitely wanted to know more about Debbie and her gift as a spirit medium, so I'll be reading her memoir Never Alone: A Medium's Journey soon. Clues From Beyond is recommended for readers of the true crime genre and those with an interest in psychic detectives and the work they do.

This is actually one of my jobs I do for a living. I solve cold cases and I have solved many. I was surprised a few cases in this book were left unsolved seeing that’s what she does for a living so I am missing a star other than that a good read. RIP to the victims.
