Abby Cooper Psychic Eye Psychic Eye Mysteries Book 1 Victoria Laurie Books

Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye was fun, but a little hard to get into. It's all about Abigail, or Abby, who is a psychic intuitive who sometimes helps with criminal cases. Her main job is as a psychic though, and she has a very steady pool of clients. One day Abby obtains some information on a recent kidnapping from her spirit guides and she just can't ignore it. This information leads to the discovery of the body, and now the cops may be willing to take her seriously when it comes to other cases. The new case? Two of her clients are dead, and the murderer is after Abby next.

I loved the premise of Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye but the reason I had trouble getting into it was because there wasn't a firm timeline, at least in the beginning. The prologue is a police report, and once the main chapters started I failed to find the connection. It's not until a ways in that it's revealed. On top of that, scenes that feel like they're only a day or two apart are actually separated by a few weeks! I was thrown off a couple of times by Abby not remembering something from a few weeks ago, which I just read a chapter ago! It made Abby feel very forgetful to me, even though I know time was meant to be passing, but it bothered me.

I was expecting the story to get right into the mystery (especially after the above mentioned prologue). Instead, the first few chapters of Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye are characterization and world building. I actually quite liked this. We got a real sense of who Abby is, and I really liked how her ability worked. She's not all knowing, and she doesn't pretend like she is. She gets images and feelings from her spirit guides, and she uses her own intuition to make connections. While Abby is a professional psychic, she doesn't put on a big show. She says what she sees and feels, but also lets her clients know that the future is not set in stone. I like that about Abby.

The mystery was pretty good, too. The sister of one of Abby's clients comes for a reading after her sister's death. Then, she too is found dead. Abby believes it was the man she saw during the reading, but the cops are after the sister's fiance, since he was her sole beneficiary. The murderer does come after Abby, since s/he believes she knows more than she does. I was a bit disappointed in the mystery, not because I didn't solve it first, but because I couldn't solve it first. The murderer isn't even introduced until almost the end, and by then it's all solved, and all that's left is to catch him. It took away a bit of my fun, since I like to play along.

In the end, I did enjoy Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye. Maybe the mystery wasn't as strong because it's the first book and a lot of page time is spent on set up? I do have hope for future books, and I'm definitely eager to see more of Dutch!

Abby Cooper Psychic Eye Psychic Eye Mysteries Book 1 Victoria Laurie Books Reviews

I have read this series, and enjoyed them, apart from the main character! Abby is very unlikeable- immature and bad tempered. However, the storylines are good and most of the other characters are well rounded so I will continue to read them and just ignore Abby when she's being herself!
Great characters, intriguing plots, with enough red herrings and suspense to keep you reading. Love the Psychic angle. In real life the talent/gift is not 100% accurate/reliable. Some psychic's are are more accurate more often then others. As with golfer's, painter's, actor's, some have/are more talented then others, some lose they're ability over time. Then there's the corrupt, and outright charletons.
It's NOT reliable enough to totally plan/run your life by.
I met 3 professional psychic's. 1 totally 100% accurate, 1 a nationally famous psychic gave my girlfriend an accurate reading, but was 99% inaccurate with mine, 3rd psychic was so far off base it was funny.
I plan on reading more by tis author, therefore I highly recommend this book and this author.
This delightful book absolutely surprised me by how good it is. Abby Cooper is a psychic intuitive who has come to grips with her talent and is using it as her career. After growing up with parents who didn't understand her ability it has been a relief to Abby to be able to help people find some of the answers they are searching for. I really appreciated the discipline shown by this character in not allowing her clients to rely on her foretelling of their futures to rule their lives. She limits their readings to two each year and ends her sessions by telling them that they are not bound by what she has seen, they still have complete free will and can make any decisions they chose regarding their future. That was extremely refreshing to read, obviously an author with a sense of responsibility. I have since learned that this author, Victoria Laurie, is herself a psychic.

The characters in this novel were very well portrayed and I enjoyed meeting each one of them. They appealed to me as real people would, never single dimensional, but multi layered. They weren't always good or always bad, simply written to act as regular people would act. There is a great deal of humor in this book and it is very natural, not forced or silly. I appreciated that. The romantic interest which is developing between Abby and the police detective, Dutch Rivers, is totally realistic. Once again, this author has allowed these characters to learn a little about each other over a period of time and the relationship is not always smooth and romantic.

There is, however, one glaring mistake in this book which forced me to reduce my rating from 5 stars down to 4. I am a mystery reading fanatic and I've been reading mysteries for many, many years. When an author gives me definite information regarding a crime or a crime scene I keep that information in my mind because it is extremely important. In this case information was given about a death and then later in the book it was completely changed when that death was discussed again. I kept waiting for the author to tell me that someone (or actually many someones) had made a mistake, but that information never came. I can honestly say that I have never read a mystery before where this kind of mistake was present. Someone should have caught this, probably the author, but absolutely the editor or someone on the editorial staff. But then, maybe not. I've read every single review here on and this mistake hasn't been mentioned once.

I was really impressed by the writing talents of Victoria Laurie. I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters she created and the (for me) unusual gift Abby has. I will not allow that one editorial miscue to keep me from continuing on with finding out where Abby and her "crew" go next.
Yep, I didn't expect this book to be as good as it is and it was really pretty good. It was marathon reading worthy in my opinion. Loved the characters and the details, and the mystery was really pretty good too. What I really liked right off the bat was the author's descriptions of the character's psychic abilities -- how she sees things, feels things, even just the descriptions of how she runs her business. This is the kind of cozy mystery that I really like. A great heroine, a sexy hero/love interest and I learn something about the "activity" that the cozy series is based on. Looking forward to reading more about Abby!
