Sensing Murder is one of the most popular programmes on New Zealand television; it is ranked as number one New Zealand series and number one show in its genre. The Sensing Murder psychics – Kelvin Cruickshank, Sue Nicholson and Deb Webber – have become household names. Although it has generated controversy, Sensing Murder has also been extremely successful in causing unsolved cases to be reopened and re-investigated and this is exactly what the producers and still-grieving families hoped for.

This book, based on the award-winning series, covers 10 of the Sensing Murder cases. It goes beyond the televised programmes by presenting behind-the-scenes information for each case and looking at intriguing topics such as hauntings and mischievous spirits, accessing difficult locations and premises, sensing children, and casting actors for re-enactments.

An extensive introductory section looks at how the series is put together, who is involved, the various responses to the show, and answers most commonly asked questions.
