Another incredibly suspenseful Psychic Eye Mystery

I have loved all of the psychic eye books except Lethal Outlook. I was a little concerned Mrs Laurie was loosing her touch. That was a hollow concern. Deadly Forecast is one of the best, if not the best so far. The only one of the series that comes close, or surpasses, is Vision Impossible: I haven't decided yet. What I really like about this book is the dual timelines of each chapter. That approach, which is new to this series, makes for incredible suspense ... and of course Elizabeth Michaels' narration only enhances the drama. I Found myself laughing out loud several times. Deadly forecast is a must for fans of this series and anyone else wanting a funny, suspenseful, entertaining thriller.

Great Books - Horrible Narrator

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend that a friend buy the books, not the audio because the narrator is horrible.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I prefer to read the books rather than listen to them because Elizabeth Michaels has a voice that grates on my nerves and has very little emotion. The characters are one-dimensional with Ms. Michaels and the minute emotional elements she brings to the characters seem off with the what I feel Ms. Laurie is expressing. Maybe I'm being harsh, or maybe I'm just spoiled by narrators such as Lorelei King, Amanda Ronconi, Holter Graham and Richard Armitage who bring so much more to their interpretations than Ms. Michaels seems capable of.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I haven't finished the audiobook yet. I've decided to read the rest of it on my Kindle.

Love it! My fav so far!

Love it! My fav so far! Great series!!! Love the voice & the writer!!
I love Abby & Dutch!! 😁 I listen & read them over & over!!

Riveting

This was the best one yet. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Needs to be edited down

I really like this book but it spends too much time on insignificant stuff. It needs to get to the point quicker.

Is this the beginning of the end?

I look for to the Abby Cooper mysteries. This book was no different. For the most part I enjoyed it. The mystery was solid, Dutch and Abbey were great. However, the book lost a star with Abby's sister Cat and MJ. #1 I don't like when books go back and forth with the past and present. It doesn't increase the suspense it only becomes a distraction. #2 The inclusion of MJ and Gilley was annoying. The two characters were out of place and didn't add to the progression of the story. They could have been eliminated and Candace and Milo could have played a bigger role in the story. #3 Cat was completely out of character. In the past she has always been a little over the top. But she has never been so obnoxious and over bearing. I expected her to plan an extravagant wedding, but I also expected the wedding to be sophisticated and stylish. The wedding that she planned did not reflect anyone's style. It was actually tacky and offensive. If it was meant to include humor into the story it fell far from it's mark. #4 although Abby's parents were mentioned in the book and it was explained why they would not be attending the wedding, I expected them to attend anyway. In previous books they were described as social climbers and wanting to be in the center of attention. Plus they have a relationship with Cat. The addition of the parents could have served as comic relief and unnecessary drama instead of including MJ and Gilley, and going back and forth with the past and present. I found myself skipping through the book at some points because it was too much. I will buy the next book but if it continues to over exaggerate comic situations I might have to say goodbye to Abby and Dutch.

I'm Forecasting a Big HIT!!!!

This series keeps getting better and better, it's a MUST READ!

I think this is might be my favorite of the Psychic Eye Mysteris. I love that Victoria added M.J. and Gillie to help out on this adventure. Hopefully they will pop in more often in the future and maybe work together to solve the next mystery.

Narration is fabulous as usual too!

Congrats Victoria, this book was FANTASTIC, looking forward to reading it a 2nd time!

Whoa. What happened to Bryce

Everything was great except.... in an effort to give other people a different voice she made Bryce sound like a whiny baby. No man as good looking as he is supposed to be would sound like that 🙂. I hope his voice is different in the next book. It was hard listening to it in this one.

Thrilling

thrilling as usual and the characters feel like friends looking forward to the next book

Confusing!

I have liked all the Abby Cooper books, until now. I found this book very confusing, switching back and forth from present to future. I also felt like this story was forced. I didn't enjoy it at all, but I had to keep listening to find out if Abby and Dutch finally get married. Spoiler Alert: What do you think?
