"dazzling amateur sleuth tale"
Abby Cooper is a private eye with an edge that others in
her profession would like to have. She is a psychic who
has five spirit guides that help her in her cases and at
critical times her clairvoyance and precognition kick in.
When she has a flaming row with FBI agent Dutch Rivers,
she thinks they are over so when her friend Ellie calls
her from Denver asking her to be a bridesmaid, she quickly
and gladly accepts. When she arrives, she learns that the person who she is
replacing stepped out of town without personally informing
Ellie. When Abby looks at a picture of the absentee
bridesmaid, she knows she is dead and with the help of her
guides draws a picture where the body is. When the corpse
is found, the wallet of Ellie's fiancé Eddie is on her;
adding to the stress Ellie is undergoing a second
bridesmaid has gone missing and then a third. Ellie's
sexy brother Sheriff Duffy uses Abby in his investigation
because he cares about Ellie and doesn't want her to be
the killer's next victim. Readers who like Charlaine Harris's newest private eye
series will absolutely adore the latest "A Psychic Eye
Mystery." The heroine is so in tune with her powers that
she uses them as a tool in her job and personal life.
People accept her because scientific evidence to the
contrary, they believe in her. Victoria Laurie writes a
dazzling amateur sleuth tale with a nice romantic sub-
plot, giving KILLER INSIGHT cross-genre appeal. Harriet Klausner
