Product Description

Product Description

Based on the hit USA Network series

A new novel fans will be totally "psyched" about...

Shawn Spencer has convinced everyone he's psychic.

Now, he's either going to clean up-or be found out...

Shawn Spencer has always hated the wilderness-by which he means anything outside the delivery radius of his favorite pizza place. But Psych has been hired to solve a baffling case of industrial espionage, and the only way to catch the spy is to join their client's bonding retreat-a grueling seven day backpacking mountain trek.

But when one of the campers turns up with a bullet in the head, Shawn and Gus soon realize that sheer cliffs, rampaging bears, and freeze- dried pineapple aren't the greatest threats they face.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not As Enjoyable as the First Two, Jan 22 2010
By Mark Baker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psych (Mass Market Paperback)
When Ellen Svaco walks into Psych, it sounds like she has a simple case. She's lost her favorite necklace while on a class field trip to Pasadena, and she wants Shawn to help her find it. It only takes Shawn a few minutes to find it when he and Gus make the trip, but before they can return to the car, they are robbed at gunpoint by a mime.

Suspicions raised, they return to Santa Barbara to confront their client and figure out the truth. However, they arrive at Ellen's house to find she has been murdered. Why was that necklace so important? And what is really going on?

First things first, if you have not read the back of the book (or the official description here on Amazon), don't! While it is accurate, it spoils much of the story and will leave you impatient waiting for those events to happen. Fortunately, I had been warned before hand, so that wasn't an issue for me.

The issue for me is that the plot felt cobbled together. There were just too many elements, side trips, and sub-plots. This really became obvious at the climax which was so rushed I had to reread it to see if it even made sense. (It does.)

I did enjoy spending time with Shawn and Gus, and laughed quite a bit at their antics. Henry also gets some nice page time, and I like what happened with Henry and Shawn's relationship.

The book is a fast read, and fans of the show will enjoy it. But the other books have been stronger.

5.0 out of 5 stars psych!, Jun 11 2010
By Dianne "Harpette" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psych (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like the USA series, you will LOVE these books! They are written exactly as Shawn and/or Gus would speak the lines in the show. I thoroughly enjoy these Psych books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read, Dec 27 2011
By Glowworm - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psych (Mass Market Paperback)
I enjoyed this book a lot. Shawn and Gus end up at a bonding retreat in the wilderness with their client's employees, and one of them is a murderer. As the retreat goes on, there are all kinds of antics of course, but as Shawn and Gus are trying to figure out who the killer is, the killer is bumping them off, one at a time. Just when you think you know who the killer is, the story takes another turn and you begin to suspicion someone else. That's what happens to Shawn and Gus too who finally figure it out just in time. Just like their TV show, Shawn and Gus make the best of the situation even though they are out of their element for sure in this one. Their characters are portrayed exactly as on the show with Shawn all laid back and taking it easy no matter what the situation and Gus worrying over everything and the perfect straight man to Shawn. I liked that I wasn't sure who the killer was until the end and that up to that point, the suspect kept changing. A nice little who dunnit. I found myself not wanting to put down the book because I wanted to see what would happen next. I recommend it.
