Lethal Outlook

Psychic Eye Mysteries, Book 10

De: Victoria Laurie

Narrado por: Elizabeth Michaels

The New York Times best-selling author of the “enthralling thriller” Vision Impossible is back with her newest Psychic Eye mystery, in which psychic Abigail Cooper must rely on her inner vision to search for a missing woman.

When a mysterious client approaches Abby with a cryptic message about a young mother who has vanished, Abby is more than willing to get involved. After all, it’s the perfect distraction from dealing with the headache of her sister Cat – who has flown into town and turned Abby and Dutch’s impending nuptials into Weddingpalooza.

After Abby recruits her business partner and BFF, Candice, to assist, they meet with the parents of the missing woman. But the parents refuse to put their faith in a psychic. What’s worse, due to a grave misunderstanding, the family suspects Abby has a connection to their daughter’s husband – the man they believe to be responsible for her disappearance. So while the family may be blind to the truth, with a potential killer in her sights, Abby is determined to keep her eyes wide open.

Very enjoyable story. I have the whole series.

I like stories that have some of the magical or mystical in them and have really enjoyed this series. And as a reference I have also thoroughly enjoyed Ellery Adams Secret Scone Society books and Sue Grafton's alphabet series.
I like the way the author has developed an enjoyable, believable cast of characters. Each book is a dip into a familiar family.
I also like how this series actually progresses and Abby and crew age and mature over maybe a 10 year period.
There are plot flaws and they can be annoying. The main character's parents in the initial few books were presented one way and then in a very dark and different way all of a sudden. It has made me want to go back to re-read those first books to see if I missed an undertone. So that has had me scratching my head. Also with her sister. They were depicted as close and talked nearly everyday. Over time Cat has become a caricature of her former self and very annoying. And Abby's psychic abilities fail her at most of the critical times which is frustrating. But probably the only way the author could create a way for the conflicts to exist in the story.
The narrator does a nice job. She has portrayed a variety of male and female characters well. Except. What happened to Bryce?? In the books he was described as having a "smooth baritone voice" or something to that effect. But especially in this book he sounds extremely nasally and nerdy. ? It's like being introduced to a totally different character. And in an earlier book where she narrated a European character she affected a stilted voice and then it carried over and changed Abby's voice.
But despite the complaints, overall it is a fun light hearted series and worth a listen.

Great book

Well written it kept me guessing who done it all the way to the end! I have read all 9 books in the series straight through and they are not repetitive!!!

Mystery murder

Abby & Candace tske on a case & then get a client. Abby's sister interferes with the wedding plan.

I'm an Abby fan.

Loved this book. Did not catch the killer till Abby sprung it. Good twist and turns. I had to sit and listen in the car a few times to end a chapter or a clue. Ready for the next one.

Suspenseful till the end...

The minute you start listening Victoria Laurie grabs your attention. She works every character to perfection and Elizabeth Michaels brings them to life with her narration, each book is better than the one before. Kudos to both ladies excellent work.

A Butt Kickin Good Time!

Back on their home turf, Dutch and Abby try to resume normalcy, but fate, and Cat aren't having it!

Boy I think Abby is part feline, because she definitely has nine lives! Recovering from injuries occurring from her last adventure, Abby is enduring serious pain and discomfort still with physical therapy. Having to use a cane and not being able to sit for long periods of time, Abby is determined to walk down the aisle without her cane. Abby returns to work and with new clients she is trying to establish her business once more. Her bestie Candace is by her side to help in any way she can. Also, Abby and Dutch are due to be married in November, which is only a month away and they let Cat have free rein on organizing the whole thing! Mistake #1, letting Cat be in charge of the wedding.

As the duo get back into the swing of things, both Dutch and Abby get involved in cases that reach alarming, out-of-control levels! All the while having to deal with Cat and Dave, (Dave is building their house, and trying to get approvals from them on fixtures, etc. and they are ignoring his calls as well as Cat's). So let me start with Cat... She annoys me. She always has. I don't understand how a sister of Abby's can be so opposite of her when they are blood. It just baffles the mind. Enough said. Dave, all he needs is Dutch or Abby to tell him what they want in their own damn house! I mean what is so hard about that?? Why the reluctance with meeting Dave to pick out patterns, jeez! On the other hand, I totally understand at the moment in time what Abby is going through. She had a very stressful time working with the CIA, is getting married soon, and recovering from a fractured pelvis, it's just too much!

I learned more about Abby's childhood though in this book, which broke my heart and made me love her even more. On the flip side to this, Cat still annoys me. I am grateful though for such a character as Cat, because if Abby didn't have a dysfunctional family, then she would be a boring person to read about, right? And if I find out later on down the line that Cat is the way she is because of something awful that happened to her then I will feel like an asshole. So there is always that to look forward to, lol...

The ending had such a teaser about the next book, which pisses me off because I have to wait a whole month until I have another Audible credit to get it!!! You know, I would have had said credit if Eighth Grave didn't just come out right when I got my monthly Audible credit damn it! I just need to win the lottery so I can buy now, now, now!!! Who said patience was a virtue? As for the narrator Elizabeth Michaels, she is fabulous as always! I'm running out of things to say about her, she is just awesome! Elizabeth is Abby Cooper and always will be :)

Great!

Love the storyline enjoyed all of Victoria‘s books that she’s writes more enjoyed every single one of them. Please find somewhere books I hope she writes more.

One of the best Abby Cooper books yet!

Where does Lethal Outlook rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
