A PANICKED PREMONITION is book 15 in Victoria Laurie's
Psychic
Eye mystery series. In A PANICKED PREMONITION, Abby
pounds the pavement and does some old-fashioned detective
work when her psychic intuition is somewhat stymied. There
is always a sense of urgency and foreboding in a Psychic
Eye mystery. Because it's a friend who has
disappeared, makes things extremely personal for Abby and
her friends. For his family and friends, as well as longtime
fans of this series, there is no doubt that Dave McKenzie is
a victim and not the villain that local law enforcement
suspects him of being. Trying to figure out what happened to
Dave is just as big a mystery as trying to figure out the
identities and motivations of the shadowy bad guys.
Kidnappings, murders, and locked rooms make for a thrilling
mystery and a book you can't put down. The close
friendships and romantic relationships help balance out the
tragedies and crime scenes littered throughout A PANICKED
PREMONITION.
The women in A PANICKED PREMONITION are an extremely diverse
group, but their presence and personalities loom large in
this story. At the opening of the book, Murielle McKenna is
a wealthy pathological mess who could give Cruella de Vil a
run for her money. Murielle's methods to obtaining what she
wants are insidious and you just know that she has to be
guilty of something. Murielle's polar opposite is the wife
of Abby's missing friend Dave. The heroines of this piece
are Abby, her BFF and business partner Candice, and new
friend and fellow crime buster Detective Nikki Grayson. Abby
and Candice are always a blast to read about, but Nikki
makes a welcome addition. I love the teamwork and the way
the ladies wipe the floor with any and all assorted villains.
A PANICKED PREMONITION is first-rate detective yarn with
some kick-ass female sleuths to save the day. This is a
great book for readers who like their mysteries with a
twist, and suspense with a few laughs mixed in. A Victoria
Laurie mystery is always a treat to be savored and I eagerly
await her next book.
