The Best of the Bunch

I really enjoyed this book. The last couple of have not been quite a hit with me, but Ms Laurie has definitely stepped up her game with this book. I do not know if you actually have to read these books in order, but to understand the character development of Abby Cooper and her friends, it might be a good idea to start at the beginning. Moving from Boston to Austin, Texas, Abby is following the love of her life, Dutch, to his new job and the two of them will now be members of the newly formed cold case squad. However, for Abby, this is like coming home. Candice is already there and trying to get herself established as a private investigator, Brice Dutch's boss is the head of the new department, her home remodelers and his old lady, and maybe even a police officer from Michigan might show up. The welcome Abby receives is not as warm as she had hoped- take a bunch of seasoned investigators and they are not going to look too kindly on a psychic. Nevertheless, Abby and Dutch quickly prove that they are a powerhouse when they darn near hit the squads solved case quota in a single day. As cases seem to come together and a few of them have remarkable similarities, Abby and an almost convinced investigator do a little side work on their own. Unfortunately, it is not the easy question and answer session that they had envisioned. With missing bodies and bullets flying, Abby is once again in way over her head. The previous books in the series ran very hot and cold with me, but I can tell you that I finished this book in one day, which is something that I do not usually do. The storyline and pace kept solid throughout, even though from time to time Abby and Candice did come across as two high schoolers, but I will forgive this bit of silliness. But just this one time. I can now say that I would definitely recommend this and the Ghost Hunter Mystery series that Ms Laurie writes.

Excellent! Victoria Laurie does it again

The most recent installment in the Abby Cooper series is one of the best yet! If you have not started this series, I highly suggest you start with the first book in the series-- Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye (Psychic Eye Mysteries, Book 1). Part of what makes this book so great is re-visiting characters and relationships from past books. You lose a lot of that (and a lot of what makes the book great) if you read this book first. Way big thumbs up to Victoria Laurie for a creative storyline, fast moving plot and wonderful personal interactions between characters in this book. My biggest complaint is having to wait a whole year for the next book to come out to see what happens to Abby, Dutch, and the rest of the gang.

Best Abby Yet

Congratulations Victoria! A Glimpse of Evil is the 8th book in the Psychic Eye Mysteries series and you have not disappointed me. This is my favorite story with my favorite characters. I recommend that interested new readers start at the beginning of this series, then enjoy her Ghost Hunter Mysteries series. The plots are interesting, enjoyable, funny and well written. Keep up the great work and I will keep reading!

Another Great Read

A Glimpse of Evil did not disappoint. The story moved along nicely and all of our favorite characters make an appearance. Too often series start to recycle plots and become less interesting. Not the case in Laurie's latest installment. Another excellent read in the series. I can't wait to read the next one.

Another Hit for Victoria Laurie

I've been a fan for awhile now. I've read everything that Ms. Laurie has written and this is by far my favorite! I'm so happy to see her characters grow. Some authors write the same story over and over. Not Ms. Laurie!! I applaud her for letting her characters grow!!!
