Lethal Outlook (Psychic Eye Mystery #10)

This is the 10th installment of the Abby series and is set in Texas. The series originally started out in Michigan but moved and evolved as Abby\’s relationship with Dutch and the FBI unfolded. This was nice to have a mystery that didn\’t involve federal crime, this was the more run of the mill missing person\’s case when a wife and mother suddenly disappeared from her home, leaving her baby behind in his crib. The story kept me guessing until the end regarding who the killer was, but I did figure out the weapon long before the characters did. The plot was complex and fast paced set along with the more mundane challenges of planning a large wedding and building a house. Poor Abby hasn\’t yet recovered from the injuries sustained in installment 9 and she is getting beaten on again. As always, she comes out on top. Can\’t wait for the next book, which I suspect will include the wedding of our heroes and a component of the mall bombing that was lurking in the back of the plot. Great job again, Victoria! Abby never disappoints me!

This installment really seemed like a filler in the series. Abby is battling a lingering injury from her latest adventure and Dutch is caught up in his own FBI drama that is obviously foreshadowed to play into the next book. The wedding plans are in full swing, thanks to Abby\’s sister, and Abby gets a mystery dumped in her lap by an even more mysterious stranger. This series is definitely formula, and I think some of the reviews are too harsh in that regard. HOWEVER, Abby\’s abilities are just a little too convenient for me in this episode. She now seems to be able to just reach out to the universe and snatch answers, which really takes all the fun out of solving the mystery, in my opinion, and isn\’t terribly original on the author\’s part, either. Still, I enjoy reading this series and will happily move right on to the next.

I don\’t understand complaints for Abby Cooper. She is just an entertaining personality in a fun fiction mystery story. If a reader wants serious literature go read nonfiction murder. I enjoy the banter between Candice and Abby, Dutch and Abby. I love the pups. This is my second time reading V Laurie\’s Psychic Eye Mystery series but I\’ve added Immersion Reading to all of them for the added enjoyment of professional narration.

I am a teacher, empathic sensitive, with deep, deep level of intuition and sensory feeling. As an energy reader, for healing our emotional timelines, all books paranormal and urban fantasy are a must read, as this keeps me a little bit more comfortable, with my own level of sensitivity. The way the stories of my fave gal story tellers, are written, keeps me honed verbally, while assisting others, in bringing understanding to their journey. This is a must read. Enjoyable, excellent character interaction and great story line.

I\’m really glad that Abby is back to crime solving and out of the espionage business. I really enjoyed her adventures, and I love her relationship with her friend/business partner Candice, a great no-nonsense character. I was a little surprised to learn the killer\’s identity, but I did like getting there. One thing did surprise me–her guides did not give her a warning when she needed one. What I did not like about the book was Abby\’s attitude about certain things. I was angry at her reaction to her fiance\’s wedding gift–a gun. He gave it to her because he loved her and wanted to protect her, but she was angry & horrified. Even after Dutch & Candice both explained it, she was still bent out of shape. Abby, the guy loves you. Get over it! I may be the only Cat fan among the readers, but both Cat, her sister, and Dave, her handyman, were trying to help her with (a) her upcoming wedding and (b) her new home, and she fled from both of them. Decisions must be made, Abby! True, she wasn\’t a bridezilla, but she was too reluctant for my taste. After all, these were decisions she\’d have to live with. I know she was in pain, but still. I can\’t wait for the next book. I hope it\’s not too long.
