Product Description:
We predict amazing sucess for this brand-new mystery series starring Psychic Abby Cooper
Abby Cooper is a P.I., psychic intuitive. But her insight failed her when she didn't foresee the death of one of her clients-or that the lead investigator for the case is the gorgeous blind date she just met. Now, with the police suspicious of her abilities and a killer on the loose, Abby's future looks more uncertain than ever.

WHen I very first picked up this book, I really expected to only read the very first few chapters and then put it away unfinished. Instead, I was quickly and easily drawn into the story. It was a good mystery with just the right amount of supernatural elements. And the romance in the book was sweet and nice rather than laden with hot and heavy sex than seems to take over the story the way so many of the paranormal/supernatural stories do. Looking forward to reading more in this series!

When one of Abby Cooper's clients is murdered she is drawn into the police investigation.
Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye is well plotted and well written. There is an element of romance as there is an immediate attraction between Abby and Dutch Rivers (they meet through a dating service, she doesn't know he's a cop and he doesn't know she's psychic) but it is not the usual I love you/I hate you but rather Detective Rivers trying to come to grips with something he never believed in and doesn't understand. A professional psychic who has worked with the police, Victoria Laurie has made her characters, including the police, believable and well-rounded. This is the very first in the series but will not be the last I read. When I subsequent shop for books I will make a point of searching for Victoria Laurie's Psychic Eye books.

Here's one of those fun books to procure for beach-reading on a very hot summer. Attractive author and psychic Victoria Laurie introduces us to Abigail Cooper, a Detroit resident and psychic extraordinaire who can be clumsy and highly tactless at times, and who describes herself as "vanilla flavored" - meaning her life always seems to lack something, like the yummy fudge chocolate sauce topping on the classic vanilla ice-cream.
In the very first installment, Abby finds herself involved in the middle of a mystery that will eventually cause four deaths. Although skeptical of her powers at the beginning, detective Dutch Rivers (who, you guessed it, lived in Holland for a few years and thus speaks fluent "Dutch") learns to trust Abby's psychic abilities as she helps the police in solving the murders and apprehending an even more psychotic killer. Other characters who are sometimes quite more interesting than Abby are her eccentric sister Cat (who unlike Abby seems to have everything under control), and her dachshund dog Eggy, who, you guessed it again, has a penchant for eggs, and is inspired by the author's own dachshund. I would have much preferred a story with them as the protagonists and Abby as the second boring supporting character instead.
When it comes to mystery writing, the biggest asset a writer can possess is to have the talent of supplying all the clues for the reader, yet presenting them in a way that the truth is not easily arrived at. In Ms. Laurie's case, I have to agree with reviewer Richard Stewart, when he states that the character development in the novel is "somewhat lacking", and the fact that the killer does not appear in the story until the final chapter makes this a mystery that lacks the capacity to not only be an above-average novel, but a deceitful one as well. Still, I will give Abby Cooper another try, especially when I am looking for a light, yet not particularly engrossing read, on yet another hot Florida summer.

I'm just finishing the book and I love it! A friend recommended it and it has been a great summer read for me. The psychic angle is fascinating especially since the author is a psychic herself.

I absolutely love this series and would recommend it to readers looking for a humorous mystery story. I found Abby to be a very likeable character. She can be a little whiny at times, but it's nothing that would put readers off. Even though you can start with any book in the series, I would advise to try and read it in order. Little details in the books would make better sense. Like her main character Abby, the author, Victoria Laurie is a psychic and it was very interesting to get a glimpse of her world. I can only imagine the kind of experience Ms. Laurie has in her own career.
