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.
