Fatal Fortune

Psychic Eye Mysteries, Book 12

De: Victoria Laurie

Narrado por: Elizabeth Michaels

In New York Times best-selling author Victoria Laurie’s newest Psychic Eye Mystery, Abby Cooper is trusting her intuition and heading to Sin City to bet on a friend’s innocence.... When police show Abby surveillance video of her best friend and business partner, Candice Fusco, shooting a man in cold blood, she can’t believe her eyes. And when the cops tell her they think the victim has ties to the Mob - and perhaps Candice does, too - she can’t believe her ears. Surely there is a logical explanation. But Candice is nowhere to be found.

Abby decides the only way to find out the truth is to go to Vegas herself - which may be the biggest gamble of her life. Once in town she begins to uncover a rigged game of dirty double-dealing where the stakes are no less than life and death. And if she’s not careful, Abby can forget about ever leaving Las Vegas...alive.

This was another good on

I thought this story was a fantastic follow up to the wedding. Cassidy and Sundance always have each other's back. My favorite scene is when Abby does a reading even though she is miffed that she had to do it.

Fantastic!

I truly enjoyed this book and of course I enjoy this author. She really tell us a great story.

Abbie solves the case again

What did you love best about Fatal Fortune?

I enjoyed the narrator, and found the story's clever twists and turns surprising. I kept thinking that the story was so simple and Abbie too for not being able to solve it. But one by one, she fooled me when I felt Abbie was being obtuse.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Candace is my favorite character, even though we never see her until the end of the story. Bryce and Dutch are both warm and lovable.

Which character – as performed by Elizabeth Michaels – was your favorite?

Elizabeth Michaels makes a great Abbie.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Who is driving that yellow Porsche?

Abby's best sleuthing yet!

In this tale of Abby Cooper, Psychic Detective, Abby's world is turned upside down when she is led to believe that her best friend Candace isn't who she thought she was. One early morning Abby retrieves a voicemail from Candace instructing her to get a file out of her office safe, on the down low, and hide it! Then proceeds to say, "Abby it's not what it looks like". Well Shih Tzu! After that is when Abby is told that Candace is wanted for murder and she's on the run! Double Shih Tzu! Will Abby uncover the truth before everyone ends up dead or in prison forever?! Stay tuned for more...

If you have been following Abby's story, then you know already that Candace has family ties to Las Vegas, and even has posed as her dead sister at times (mainly when undercover), and has a sleaze ball of an ex-husband. The man that Candace is accused of murdering comes from Las Vegas but his body was found at an airport parking lot in Texas! The entire act was caught on tape, and leaves no room for doubt. Abby secretly tries to find out and put the pieces together as to what is going on, but is quickly thwarted by her handsome husband Dutch Rivers, FBI. Abby is forced to lie to her husband and sneak off to Vegas in order to find Candace to once and for all get the truth from Candace herself.

The emotional trauma and turmoil Abby, Bryce, and Dutch go through while trying to come to grips that Candace would do such a thing was really hard to endure while reading. The betrayal they felt, especially Abby, because even though Bryce loved her he was willing to believe that Candace was guilty. Abby stuck to her guns on knowing her best friend, and not for one second believed she would murder someone in cold blood. Dutch was such a wonderful support for Abby about Candace, he just makes my knees weak. I love that man Dutch, he is truly the best fit for Abby! The sad fact about this whole thing was that Candace doesn't have any blood relatives in her corner. She is all alone in this world with the exception of her man, best friend, and her friend Dutch, three people that are fairly new to her life, and they make one hell of a family unit! Abby Cooper fans will not be disappointed in this new installment of the Psychic Eye Mystery Series!

Narrator Review

Elizabeth Michaels delivers another fangtastic performance in the Psychic Eye Mystery Series! Hearing Abby's voice come to life through Elizabeth is such a joy, and makes the story that much more pleasurable. I give you a hat tip and a bow Elizabeth, thank you!

Running last;(

I have love all the books in this series. I just feel this latest one just didn't quite stand up to the others. Not to say I didn't enjoy it cos I did. It was a little predictable & Abbey didn't use her special powers enough. Hope the next one will make up for it. I will still listen to this series all the same.

Worst best friend ever!

The story was quite good. It ran a little long, and suffice it to say that Abby is the world ‘s worst friend,

One of the best books in the series!

I had no idea where Victoria was taking our favorite characters this time around. Additionally, less curse words altogether made for a more enjoyable listening/reading experience in my opinion. Thank you for a great read, Victoria! I do believe this is one of the best books in the series.

It starts with Candice (aka Cassidy) being accused of cold-blooded murder. We do not see Candice for much of this book which would normally put me off. Not this time around. The storyline was well constructed and kept me interested and wondering "who dunnit?".

I felt so sorry for Brice as he wondered whether or not the love of his life was a murderer. You could feel his pain. I personally felt Abby's fear that even though she trusted Candice, her BFF, she didn't know if the person she thought she knew was real or not. Had Candice pulled the wool over everyone's eyes and is really a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing?

Most of all, I always feel sorry for Dutch, because he cannot trust Abby to tell him the truth half the time - LOL! Abby is such a bad liar that Dutch always knows when she is fibbing and always worried because she seems to get herself in so much trouble.

I don't want to add spoilers, so I'll stop here with my description of the book.

If you like the other books in this series, you will definitely like this book.

Still going strong

Same great characters, new situations, good story. Even though there have been quite a few books in this series it's still a lot of fun. Highly recommend.

Enjoyable, fun listen

This series is easy to listen to & entertaining. I enjoy the characters. This book in particular has one big flaw in the plot line as far as im concerned, but otherwise it's a good book in a good series.

EXCELLENT!!!

These books are fantastic. they have a little bit of everything. I little romance, a lot of mystery and a bit of fantasy. Each book gets better and better which is what I look for in a series. I love the humor in the books and can't wait for the next one to come out!
