As a favor to a friend, Abby Cooper, professional psychic
intuitive, agrees to quickly learn to read tarot cards for
a wedding whose guests are more than they seem. Of course,
the night of this wedding is on the same night as her long-
awaited homecoming with her FBI agent boyfriend. Now, she's
simultaneously irritated at his new sexy undercover
partner; aggravated at him for being so obtuse about his
partner and seemingly insecure or ashamed about her job;
and annoyed with herself for being in a mob-influenced
situation while working with the police on a case.
In her sophomore work about Abby Cooper, Ms. Laurie proves
she can hold her own. The characters are even more vibrant
in this second novel and improve upon further development.
However, first-time readers will have no problems falling
immediately into the book, because the exposition is
artful, but to the point.
Word of Abby's talents reading tarot cards has reached a
mob boss who wants her help in some business matters and
he
doesn't take no for an answer. When the police seek out
her
psychic intuition to shed light on a masked man who's
been
attacking women, Abby finds herself working both sides of
the law on her own, leading her to wonder, why didn't I
see
this coming?
