Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye —
When one of Abby Cooper's clients is murdered she is drawn into the police investigation.
I had $30.00 in gift certificates from Amazon.com and wanted a fourth book under $7.00, didn't expect much from this book.. I'm glad to say I was wrong. 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. Victoria Laurie is herself a professional psychic who has worked with the police and has made her characters, including the police, believable and well-rounded. This is the first in the series but will not be the last I read. When I next shop for books I will make a point of searching for Victoria Laurie's Psychic Eye books.
