"Fun book with a clairvoyant who assists the police"

Abby Cooper is a Psychic Intuitive (P.I.). She has known since she was young that she was clairvoyant. She tried ignoring it for awhile, but that just didn't work. Now she has a comfortable practice in Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit.

After one of her clients ends up dead, the police come to her for answers. She doesn't have any, but she is able to give them some direction in the case. At first Detective Dutch Rivers doesn't believe her. But over time, he begins to turn to her for answers when there are none. It doesn't hurt that he's easy to look at. Originally they met on a blind date!

Soon Abby finds out that the killer thinks she knows more than she does, because she finds herself in danger more than once. Can she help the police solve this murder without becoming a victim herself?

This is the first in this new series. I had some trouble getting into it because I don't really believe in psychics. I must say that by the end of the book, I really liked it because I enjoyed the characters and the story. I will read more in this series. I recommend this book!

She can see right through you...

Summary

You'd think being clairvoyant would give Abby Cooper the ability to avoid danger.

But being psychic doesn't necessarily allow you to sidestep murder and mayhem—it just lets you know that it's coming...

In the Royal Oak suburb of Detroit, thirtysomething Abby Cooper lives a life that's kind of like vanilla ice cream—good enough, but a little bland. Her work as a P.I—psychic intuitive—can be rewarding, but she feels like somehow she's missing out on the hot fudge topping...

Now she's getting what she wished for—as one of her clients turns up dead and the clues start pointing in Abby's direction. She just knows too many details about the murder for her own good. To make matters worse, the hot blind date she just met turns out to be the lead investigator on the case. And gorgeous Detective Dutch Rivers is convinced she's a fraud.

No matter how great her psychic abilities are, Abby isn't completely sure she can solve this case. Unfortunately for her, though, the killer's pretty convinced...
