Early Evidence Profile
In the summer of 1998, FBI agent Bob Hilland is working on an unsolvable cold case when he reluctantly calls the famous psychic John Edward for help. Bob expects little from the conversation, but it leads to a major break in the investigation—and challenges his assumptions about what might aid a criminal inquiry. That first call begins an unlikely crime-solving partnership lasting twenty-five years. As Bob and John work on additional cases, they learn to rely on each other and trust their distinct skills while pursuing justice for those affected by violent crimes.
Their collaboration also brings personal resolution and healing. At the center of their journey is the investigation of the gruesome John Smith murders, a case that has drawn national attention. Chasing Evil follows the questions, discoveries, and evolving trust that shape an extraordinary partnership between a skeptical FBI agent and a psychic who offers help in an unexpected place.
Evidence Confidence
Why this matters →- The book itself is well identified and supported across independent sources.
- We still have limited information tied to this exact recording or edition.
- We don’t yet have enough narrator-specific commentary to characterize the performance.
We have a useful picture of the audiobook, though some listening and edition-specific details are still becoming clearer.
Evidence Snapshot i
These cards measure different things in the same evidence pool, so they are not meant to add together. Retained Evidence counts unique saved records; discussions and networks count independent groups; narration and edition cards count only records qualified for those specific jobs.

Supporting sources 12
What this means
Unique evidence records that remain after filtering and deduplication. The larger evidence-signal total shown below can be higher because one retained record may support several separate facts or observations.
Source groups 8
What this means
Separate reviews, forums, interviews, or conversations, with duplicates kept from inflating the total.
Networks 16
What this means
Different platforms and publications represented in the research behind this page.
What this means
Performance evidence that can actually describe how this narrator sounds or performs this recording. Identity records, narrator biographies, sample links, and awards are useful context but do not count here on their own.
Supporting sources 3
What this means
Sources tied to the audiobook recording itself, such as verified product or catalog records that help resolve narrator, runtime, format, release information, or stable recording identifiers.
What this means
The most recent date this page’s saved evidence picture was refreshed and checked.
A larger evidence pool gives us more to work with, but volume alone does not make a conclusion stronger. Relevance and independence still matter.
What the Evidence Adds
Useful context the synopsis doesn’t cover — patterns that may help you decide whether this book is your kind of read or listen.
How to approach it
This is driven more by ideas and argument than by plot. It is likely to work best when you want to follow the reasoning and reflect on the implications rather than simply relax into a story.
Emotional Resonance
Emotional stakes are a noticeable part of the book, rather than the story operating only at the level of plot or ideas.
Built from 141 retained source records across 24 independent discussions and 13 source networks.
Narrator Experience
What we can responsibly verify about the narrator and this recording.
How we build this section
The narrator credits can be shown, but a performance description waits for qualified recording-specific commentary or a verified analyzable excerpt.

Evidence behind this section
Counts describe support for this narrator/recording, not a quality score.Why we describe the performance this way
We use evidence tied specifically to this recording. Repeated observations across independent sources carry more weight than isolated comments. Narrator background and career recognition can add useful context, but they do not determine how this performance is described.

What the Story Feels Like
How this works
What this means
Emotion plays a meaningful role in the experience, so character relationships and outcomes are likely to matter beyond the plot mechanics.
Why it appears: Book information and independent reader or listener observations that speak directly to this trait; recording-specific claims are kept separate unless they are actually supported.
What this means for you: There is a strong emotional pull, so the characters and their outcomes are likely to matter as much as the plot itself.
Built from the book and story evidence that speaks directly to these traits; it does not describe an unverified recording.
Where Readers Agree

Our Take
The book sits most naturally in mystery, thriller & suspense and romance territory, and the strongest supported details help set expectations for that kind of story. The main point of variation is listener experience unclassified, so that part of the experience is more likely to depend on personal taste. For the audiobook, there is enough recording-specific support to add a meaningful performance view for John Edward McGee Jr., Robert Hilland in Narrator Experience.
