SENSE OF DECEPTION is Book 13 in Victoria Laurie's
Psychic Eye mystery series. Although it's part of a
series, I believe SENSE OF DECEPTION can still be enjoyed
by readers new to the Psychic Eye series. Victoria
Laurie does a good job of establishing who the main
characters are and their relationships to each other. In
SENSE OF DECEPTION psychic and FBI consultant Abby Cooper
races to save a woman, who she believes was wrongly
convicted, from being executed. The spin that Victoria
Laurie puts on this classic theme is having lead sleuth Abby gifted with a psychic
ability. Her ability acts as
a built-in lie detector for added peace of mind that she
is on the right track.
SENSE OF DECEPTION is a spellbinding mystery from
beginning to end. I love true crime cold cases and this
fictional one about a mother in prison for murdering her
young child is particularly fascinating. Victoria Laurie
takes you step by step as Abby tries to do old-fashioned
detective work hunting down potential suspects and
witnesses. You get the feeling you are living the
story as well because of the vivid storytelling. I like
that Abby's special gift gives her an edge as a
detective, but it isn't the only asset she has in solving
the mystery. Abby's husband, friends, and co-workers all
involve themselves in helping her sort
through the tangle of lies and hidden truths. I like the
teamwork involved in SENSE OF DECEPTION. I love strong
female characters and Abby and her PI friend Candice make
a pretty impressive team taking on the bad guys.
SENSE OF DECEPTION is a juggernaut of a mystery with many
exciting twists and turns! Victoria Laurie does a great
job of conveying a sense of urgency as well as providing
a complex puzzle for readers to untangle. Although SENSE
OF DECEPTION is packed with suspense, there are a few
light moments thrown in as a counterpoint to all the
intensity. SENSE OF DECEPTION had me staying up all night
to find out what happens and it will hook you too. I
can't wait for the next Psychic Eye mystery as well as
the next installment of Victoria Laurie's spooky good
Ghost Hunter series.
In New York Times bestselling author Victoria
Laurie’s newest Psychic Eye Mystery, Abby Cooper senses a
convicted killer is innocent, but she’ll need hard evidence
to save the woman before it’s too late…
A
ticked-off judge has tossed Abby in the slammer for contempt
of court, and during her brief but unpleasant stay she
learns the story of a condemned woman who is facing a far
more serious sentence. Skylar Miller has been found guilty
of murder and faces the death penalty. Everyone believes
she’s guilty, including her own family and her
ex-husband—everyone, that is, except Abby, whose finely
honed intuition tells her this woman doesn’t belong behind
bars.
With the help of her husband Dutch and her
friend Candice, Abby launches into her own investigation to
clear Skylar and find the real killer. But after a final
appeal is denied and Skylar’s attorney scrambles for a stay
of execution, time is running short—and the list of suspects
keeps growing. There’s no margin for error as the life of an
innocent woman hangs in the balance…
