Product Description
When a childhood friend of Abby's from Denver, Colorado, finds herself short one bridesmaid, it doesn't take a professional psychic to see the opportunity for a much-needed getaway. But one bridesmaid after the next is mysteriously flying the coop, and Abby's intuition tells her their final destination isn't pretty. With the wedding party falling apart and her gift of sight never quite so foggy, Abby has to save the date-and herself from becoming the next taffeta-clad target.

The Best of the series!! September 10, 2006
19 out of 23 found this review helpful
As a fan of the Psychic Eye Mysteries and Victoria Laurie, I eagerly anticipated Killer Insight, and boy, it is GREAT!
This outing, Abby Cooper, raw from a break-up with hunky Dutch, goes to a childhood friend's wedding in Denver. The Denver family has been a major part of Abby's life, a surrogate family so to speak. Abby is asked to be a replacement bridesmaid when one of Ellie's (the bride) bridesmaid suddenly leaves.
In the course of Abby learning about the circumstances of the diappearance of the first and subsequent disappearances of other bridesmaids, she and her crew get to work to help.
She sees her childhood friend, Duffy (Ellie's brother), and he has grown to be a sexy Sheriff and that chemistry plays greatly in the story.
This outing gives a greater range for Abby and her talent. She is a more rounded person and maybe it is the change of scenery, or the dealing with family and the engaged couple. Whatever, I couldn't wait for the next page!
Ms. Laurie alway gives us insight to what is is like to be a psychic and its responsibilities. I enjoyed her explaining her preparation to do a reading and zeroing in on her gift.
Page 108 shows her process - and the analogy of her getting in the zone, like Tiger Woods does when he is on his 'A' game. That concentration is pure discipline to keep yourself focused on the job. Really makes things easier for the reader who has not had much experience on that end, and her process of meditation and asking for help with Angels and her crew to help her give the information needed to be said, is fascinating.
The climax of the book is stunning and gives us a clue of what a NDE feels like - not going to spoil that -
There is a sneak preview of the next of the series, Crime Seen, that starts with Dutch asking Abby to help him with his crime investigations - Dutch was once skeptical of Abby's gifts but now he sees the potential in her using her talent for his investigative work. Should be another great read - AND Ms. Laurie is introducing a new Ghost-Buster series, the 1st titled What's a Ghoul to Do? Can't wait!
As I have said before in previous reviews of Ms. Laurie's books, I visited her website and had a reading with her - I think many would find a reading with her to be very helpful.
On top of that Ms. Laurie is a delightful gracious young lady with great gifts.
Dont pass this one up! September 11, 2006

If you're a fan of her other Abigail Cooper mysteries, then you'll love this one as well.
It was just as great as her other 3 books and I'm looking forward to the next Abby Cooper story.
I also can't wait to read the first in her new series 'What's A Ghoul to Do?: A Ghost Hunter Mystery'.
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!!! October 2, 2006

Oh my God!! Victoria Laurie is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! She writes the best books, I would definitely put her next to Janet Evanovich . . . YES I MEAN IT!!! She writes so incredibly well, you feel like you know the characters so well and Abby is so fun to read about - I love the psychic stuff and the humor is always right on target!! I never, ever can figure out the twists and turns and that is because Victoria keeps you guessing throughout the whole book!!!! I cannot wait for the next Abby installment and am very sad that I only have a few pages left, but I had to give kudos out to Victoria for writing such an awesome masterpiece!!
I would highly recommend ALL of Victoria's books AND getting readings from her - she is amazingly accurate and so friendly, you feel like she is the sister that you never had!!
YEA! for Victoria - keep em coming!!!!!!
loved it--worth the wait September 8, 2006

I received my copy on Thursday and read the whole thing in 4 hours. I couldn't put it down!! The best Abby book yet!! Loved the new characters and old. Abby's sister Cat is so funny, how a woman can run a multi-million dollar company and be so clueless with her own family is hilarious!!! I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for a great read and Victoria herself is an excellent psychic. I had a reading with her months ago and she has proved herself to be highly accurate.
dazzling amateur sleuth September 10, 2006

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 fiance 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.
