ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!!!

Oh my God!! Victoria Laurie is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! She writes the best books, I would definitely put her next to Janet Evanovich . . . YES I MEAN IT!!! She writes so incredibly well, you feel like you know the characters so well and Abby is so fun to read about - I love the psychic stuff and the humor is always right on target!! I never, ever can figure out the twists and turns and that is because Victoria keeps you guessing throughout the whole book!!!! I cannot wait for the next Abby installment and am very sad that I only have a few pages left, but I had to give kudos out to Victoria for writing such an awesome masterpiece!! I would highly recommend ALL of Victoria's books AND getting readings from her - she is amazingly accurate and so friendly, you feel like she is the sister that you never had!! YEA! for Victoria - keep em coming!!!!!!

Love the whole series

I loved all of the books in the series, the plot lines are unique in each book, and this one is especially good. The killer was a surprise (for the most part, since I tend to read the ending about half way through-the suspense makes me nuts!) and the characters well developed. Abby isn't perfect, and neither is anyone else in the book, which makes it all the more enjoyable. If you are on the fence about getting this one, jump over and join the rest of us! It's great!

Best of the bunch?

I'd say so! For the first time in the Psychic Eye series, Victoria brings the story out of Royal Oak as Abby is called on to be a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding in Colorado. The change of pace really pushes the series forward. We get to check in with the regular characters, but we're also introduced to a whole new group of colorful, interesting people. The book gets off to a heck of an exciting start, and it slowly becomes clear that Abby's fellow bridesmaids are getting killed off. It puts a damper on the wedding, but it makes for really exciting reading. As a fan of this series, I look forward to each volume because the author keeps switching things up. But she also keeps things grounded with a terrific main character who you really want to get to know. With so many authors faltering in their series, it's a thrill to see someone who keeps growing from book to book. I can't wait to see where Abby ends up next!

Dont pass this one up!

If you're a fan of her other Abigail Cooper mysteries, then you'll love this one as well. It was just as great as her other 3 books and I'm looking forward to the next Abby Cooper story. I also can't wait to read the first in her new series 'What's A Ghoul to Do?: A Ghost Hunter Mystery'.

The Best of the series!!

As a fan of the Psychic Eye Mysteries and Victoria Laurie, I eagerly anticipated Killer Insight, and boy, it is GREAT! This outing, Abby Cooper, raw from a break-up with hunky Dutch, goes to a childhood friend's wedding in Denver. The Denver family has been a major part of Abby's life, a surrogate family so to speak. Abby is asked to be a replacement bridesmaid when one of Ellie's (the bride) bridesmaid suddenly leaves. In the course of Abby learning about the circumstances of the diappearance of the first and subsequent disappearances of other bridesmaids, she and her crew get to work to help. She sees her childhood friend, Duffy (Ellie's brother), and he has grown to be a sexy Sheriff and that chemistry plays greatly in the story. This outing gives a greater range for Abby and her talent. She is a more rounded person and maybe it is the change of scenery, or the dealing with family and the engaged couple. Whatever, I couldn't wait for the next page! Ms. Laurie alway gives us insight to what is is like to be a psychic and its responsibilities. I enjoyed her explaining her preparation to do a reading and zeroing in on her gift. Page 108 shows her process - and the analogy of her getting in the zone, like Tiger Woods does when he is on his 'A' game. That concentration is pure discipline to keep yourself focused on the job. Really makes things easier for the reader who has not had much experience on that end, and her process of meditation and asking for help with Angels and her crew to help her give the information needed to be said, is fascinating. The climax of the book is stunning and gives us a clue of what a NDE feels like - not going to spoil that - There is a sneak preview of the next of the series, Crime Seen, that starts with Dutch asking Abby to help him with his crime investigations - Dutch was once skeptical of Abby's gifts but now he sees the potential in her using her talent for his investigative work. Should be another great read - AND Ms. Laurie is introducing a new Ghost-Buster series, the 1st titled What's a Ghoul to Do? Can't wait! As I have said before in previous reviews of Ms. Laurie's books, I visited her website and had a reading with her - I think many would find a reading with her to be very helpful. On top of that Ms. Laurie is a delightful gracious young lady with great gifts.
