Fiction. Mystery. HTML:Professional psychic Abigail Cooper is used to dealing with skeptics, but even she's ready to cry "uncle!" when she's forced to work with a true non-believer bent on proving her a fraud.

This was a fun read. Interesting story and characters. Didn't figure out the killer until close to the end of the book. ( )

Whether you believe or not doesn't matter, the fun is in the reading. I think this 7th book is my favourite of Victoria Laurie's Abigail Cooper Psychic Eye series. To be honest, I haven't read many but the conflicts and characterizations in Doom With A View are so hilarious, yet serious at the same time. When Abby is teamed up with an FBI hardcore unbeliever as the lead investigator and her so cool PI partner Candice, you just know things are going to get volatile. But with three missing teens, whose parents are politicians, there is no time for personal feelings. This is a fast-paced suspense, especially in regard to the political angle, and the urgency of Abby's psychic feelings. Not to make little of the case, when I say hilarious I am referring to the attitudes of the three main players, not the case itself. Abby is so clued in with her "crew" as she calls it, I felt that when they don't seem to tell her anything she becomes very unsure of herself, but fortunately her personal "live" friends are there to upright her canoe so to speak. This includes her live-in boyfriend who is also an FBI agent, but one who's got her back. I was not expecting the end. I loved this book! ( )

I enjoyed this installment, which moved at a quick pace. I was surprised by the ending, didn't guess whodunnit. ( )

Because of the economy, business is more than a bit slow for professional psychic Abby Cooper so she agrees to help the FBI with a case. She won't get paid but hopes her work on this case will open up future business opportunities. The case she's helping them with is a tough one - three college kids are missing and the FBI suspects the disappearances are connected - but Abby has another tough issue to deal with since the lead investigator for the FBI, Brice Harrington, doesn't believe in her psychic abilities and undermines her efforts every chance he gets. As Abby struggles to convince Harrison while trying to find the missing teens, she and her partner, private investigator Candice Fusco, begin to uncover evidence that may help solve the case but puts them and those they care about in extreme danger.

"Doom with a View" is another nice entry in Victoria Laurie's enjoyable "Psychic Eye" mystery series. Abby, her boyfriend Dutch, and best friend Candice are old friends to readers at this point and it's always fun to visit them. Candice in particular is a great character and it's always fun to read about her and her adventures. The addition of Brice Harrison creates some great tension among the characters as he refuses to believe in Abby's psychic abilities despite the growing evidence. Laurie's plot line is very current as many of the characters worry about the state of the economy (a worry that plays a major part at the end of the book). The mystery of the missing college students is well written and plotted with plenty of twists and turns and ends with a surprise that no one (including Abby herself) would have expected. The psychic elements are well done and believable - despite what Harrison thinks! The end of the book is filled with some tense, very scary moments that will have readers on the edge of their seats and eagerly turning the pages to see what happens next. Several things happen throughout the book and at the end that promise to take the series in a new direction (both literally and figuratively). I look forward to the next book in the series to find out what happens to Abby, Dutch, Candice, et al.

"Doom with a View" is another great mystery by Victoria Laurie. ( )
