From School Library Journal:
Grade 8-12-- Rosecleer Potter's terror begins with schoolmate Nancy Emerson's disappearance just before Thanksgiving; Nancy has been missing for several days when she appears in a dream to Rose, and offers hints as to where her body is located. Rose indirectly passes the information along to the police, and as they investigate, they discover a pattern to the murder of girls during the Christmas season. The only clue is a plastic poinsettia found on each body. Although she knows that her own life is endangered by her probing, Rose perseveres in her psychic attempts to contact the other dead young women. Side themes examine the empathetic connection between Rose and her twin brother and society's predilection to judge unfairly people with mental problems. Rose is a strong, likable character and the female chief investigator, Detective O'Hara, is an admirable role model. A bit more gruesome than most YA mysteries, this one is well plotted and has sufficient clues for astute readers. It's definitely not for the fainthearted, but fans of Joan Lowery Nixon's Whispers from the Dead (Delacorte, 1989) will be equally thrilled by Windsor's chiller. --Jeanette Larson, Texas State Library, Austin
