Good fortune in store for Victoria Laurie!, Jun 11 2005
By ellen "ellen in atlanta" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psychic Eye Mystery Better Read Than Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
A new face has been added to the list of must read authors - Ms. Victoria Laurie. Better Read Than Dead is the 2nd book featuring Abby Cooper, a gifted intuitive in Michigan, and her friends and loved ones. Where the 1st book really introduces Abby and her friends to us, this book pulls out the stops and lets us see the world of the paranormal. There is a favor a friend calls in to read fortunes with Tarot cards at a Greek wedding reception that lands Abby in some hot water indeed. The plot is believable as she deals with the unsavory consequences of having read a hit man's cards at the reception. This brings her to the attention of a Greek gangster, who wants Abby to advise him about his 'business' and subsequent heirs.
Having lived in Detroit and suburbs of Detroit, I can remember Greektown and working at RenCen. Ms. Laurie is hitting her stride, very comfortable in Abby's skin and effortlessly gets us involved in her life and friendships of Dutch, her hunky FBI boyfriend, and their friend Milo, a great cop, her sister Cat, her handy man Dave, and her sweet pooch, Eggy.
This book gives insight to the world of the psychic and their responsibility of their readings - what if someone not skilled read fortunes and completely misinterprets what is before her like Cat did? or visions were read another way than intended? It is a great responsibility that professional psychics face, and Abby is a great example of that - dealing with her Crew - her guides etc who help her from the Other Side.
Ms. Laurie is a delightful writer and gifted psychic herself, causing this reader to see her website and get a reading - she was excellent and a super person. Highly recommend you try too. If you are a fan of Abby Cooper's, you are interested in the paranormal. Follow your guides and read Abby's adventures and see how special this series and their writer truly is.

Grumpy today!, Mar 13 2007
By K. Focht - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psychic Eye Mystery Better Read Than Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
Yes, I'm very grumpy today. I was up until 1:20 a.m. because I COULD NOT put this book down. My normal bedtime is 9 p.m. but this book just kept me going and going and going. And, instead of taking a brief nap on my lunch hour, instead I am going to the book store to buy more. This was the first book I read and I devoured it in two days. Victoria Laurie is now right at the top of my 'must read' authors!

Kudos to Victoria Laurie!, Jun 25 2005
By Cynthia S. Hood - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psychic Eye Mystery Better Read Than Dead (Mass Market Paperback)
The first of the series, "Abby Cooper - Psychic Eye" introduced us to Abby's life as a Pyschic and to her sister Cat, Dave the Handyman, Eggy the pooch and Police Officers Dutch and Milo.
The second books takes off running. This is a very well written book. I love the fact that we are immersed in Abby's world as we follow her to work and home, get involved in her sister troubles, as well as worries about her house.
Abby always explains who she is and how life as a Psychic works, or not, depending upon just how much information she gets and if she understands what's being said to her.
The story has several twists and turns and I always find myself worrying about her life as well as the lives of the people who surround her.
I don't want to write about the plot or lay out a list of what happens because that's why you read the book. I do recommend this if you love mystery, intrigue, witty dialogue, great writing and most importantly, good fun.
I see a great writing career for Victoria Laurie and I hope to see a long run for Abby Cooper. It won't take long for her to join the ranks of "Stephanie Plum," or "Kay Scarpetta".
I would buy or borrow this book today as it's a great read if you're interested in detective stories, the Pyschic world, great characters, and an author who takes you places you've never been. You'll thank her for the trip. It's well worth it!
