Abby Cooper is a psychic who uses her abilities to help out
the FBI with difficult cases. When she isn't knee deep in
a dangerous case, she does private psychic readings. Abby's
latest client comes to her appointment with a lot of
anxious energy and in disguise. She is hoping Abby will
take on the case of a missing mother that was seen on the
news. The woman claims to be a lawyer for a guilty
client. Because of confidentiality laws she can not
divulge who her client is. She is not hiring Abby, but
merely wants her to investigate the case and begs her to do
so.
A woman named Kendra has gone missing and left her infant
son home alone in his crib. Her husband Tristan is the
obvious suspect but Abby's intuition has been telling her
the police may be wrong about this. Together Abby and her
PI friend Candace investigate Kendra's family, neighbors
and friends to try to find out who would murder this young
woman and why. As Abby and Candace get closer to the truth,
their lives become in danger. Will they be able to solve the
case without becoming the latest victims of this killer? Or
will they stick their noses where they don't belong one too
many times and suffer the consequences?
LETHAL OUTLOOK is the 10th book in the Psychic Eye mystery
series featuring Abby Cooper. As a fan of Victoria
Laurie's Ghost Hunter Mystery Series, I have been meaning
to read this series for a while. The Psychic Eye books are
cozy mysteries while the Ghost Hunter books are
paranormals.
I went into reading LETHAL OUTLOOK very hopeful as I really
enjoy the other series by Laurie. There are aspects of the
story I enjoyed... the tightly plotted mystery, humor, and
romance. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. My biggest
issue was that I found it difficult to like Abby. She came
across as very negative, arrogant, and cocky. Her frequent
rudeness to people became too much for me. The psychic
elements weren't believable and a lot of times
Abby came off as a fraud to people. Of course she would
prove that she's not by abusing her abilities by blurting
out their deepest secrets to embarrass them. All of these
aspects made Abby come off as unlikeable and certainly not
someone I want to root for.
Overall, this tenth installment shows Abby surrendering to
the stress in her life. I hope with the next book we can
see her stronger, happier, and more determined than ever to
solve a case.
