Title: Desperately seeking some interest
Product review: Policeman Robbie Brownlaw develops synesthesia after surviving a 60-foot fall. He can actually see the colors and shapes of emotions when people speak to him. The premise of this book is that the synesthesia gives Robbie a unique aid when interviewing criminals. He can `see' if they are lying or frightened or angry. Unfortunately Robbie doesn't pick up shapes and colors when people are bored. If he did, he would have introduced some action or suspense into this deadly dull novel.
