Vision Impossible Psychic Eye Mysteries No 9 Victoria Laurie Books

I am a not negative person, but above all I am an honest one. This review isn't going to be all love, there comes a time when you need to tell the truth, even if it hurts.

I love this series and after getting over my initial shock of intuitive Abigail Cooper becoming a spy, I enjoyed the book. The concept seemed implausible when I began the novel, but then I remembered why I was reading it in the first place; to escape, to enter a world not of my own and just go along for the ride. And I did, free falling out an airplane with Abby. We both lived through the experience.

Yes, certain things are a bit beyond belief and she does get some facts wrong, but I grew up in the NOVA (Northern Virginia) region of the country right outside of D.C. and I am used to people getting the city wrong. Way wrong.. and yes, I have complained. The next thing however is I do is to go back to my theater days and remember that old fourth wall.

The invisible wall that tells you to suspend disbelief and lets you know this isn't reality. In turn, you let yourself enter the world that the author creates for you. Over the course of the last eight novels, fans like myself have gotten used to the world she created and when things were being stretched I stayed with it, because I loved the characters and the world. She changed the world and I went along with it.

The problem that I think many readers including myself have is that we didn't have a chance acclimate ourselves to Austin before we were whisked off on a spy adventure. The carefully crafted world present in the previous novels wasn't as well put together in this one. Readers took notice and responded.

If you love Abby, I mean really love her, you will love this book, but if you are the person that only kind of loves her or is non-committal, you might not love it. You may only like it.

Vision Impossible Psychic Eye Mysteries No 9 Victoria Laurie Books Reviews

The whole idea of the CIA recruiting a civilian was stupid enough. But when Abby started making demands and giving orders, and the CIA guy and Dutch went along with it, it became utterly ridiculous. And after about the 3000th use of "my fiance" by Abby, I wanted to choke her.

I did finish it simply because it was a decent whodunnit and while I figured out one of the bad guys, I missed totally on the other one. But other than that, I found it to be a disappointment for what I've come to expect from this series.
This has been a great series. I always try to look for books that combine elements of mystery along with some lightheartedness and this fits the bill
I love this series and thought that this installment had a good plot, but I was annoyed at the way it played out. Abby works undercover with Dutch in this one, and poor Dutch continually gets the stew beaten out of him while Abby flits around with men falling for her all over the place. Abby is a civilian working for the government in this one, but she is given quite a lot of power for this mission, which didn't ring true. I didn't like the repetitive Abby-puts-her-foot-down-and-men-obey theme. Also, I kept seeing the action that so-and-so "turned on his heel" to leave a room. I noticed this at least 3 times...probably just my hang up. I'll keep reading, just not my favorite in the series, for sure.
I have read all the Abby Cooper books and really enjoyed them, but this one is a real disappointment. The story line is simply unbelievable, and I got tired of reading about Abby and Dutch getting beaten up over and over. I mean, seriously, if you're being stalked by really bad people, would you really take a little stroll down to the coffee shop by yourself? Multiple times? And given that they're supposed to be staying in a building secured by CIA agents, is it really possible for the bad guys to show up in the apartment? Multiple times? Not to mention that Abby's "crew" is pretty much absent from this book. Oh, they direct her here and there when there's danger afoot. Except when a bad guy sneaks up on her with a gun, and she has no clue he's coming. Huh? Also, Abby does the typical "oh, I dropped my gun while being chased by bad guys," routine, which is honestly just plain stupid. I'd like to see Abby go back to her private practice and use her psychic talents to help the various people who come through her door. If the next book is anything like this one, it will be the last one I buy.
First of all I want to say that I have absolutely loved all of the previous Psychic Eye books...I enjoy the quirky antics of Abby Cooper and her intuitive insight...love her solving cases and enjoy her interaction with her friends and her dog...and her sister Cat.

However....this one was just not for me. I am not into spy type stories...and it was hard to get through it for me. I ended up skipping to the last chapter just so I could somewhat know what happened and I could go on to the next book. Just wasn't the type of story line I enjoy. It didn't seem to fit with the other books in the series in my opinion.
I have read all the books in this series. Abby has always been believable as a private practicing psychic in the suburbs of Detroit. It was even believable when she became a civilian consultant for the FBI in Austin but a recruit for the CIA? No way. First of all the CIA would have never let her be in on this assignment. It was much too dangerous for a civilian and the rationale that they needed her to "pick up on things" didn't really work out because she DIDN"T pick up on some very important things that she should have. The whole premise was incredible. And one line early in the book really baffled me Abby says " I grew up at the height of the cold war..." WHAT? the height of the cold war was in the 1950's and '60's. Is Abby really a very well preserved 60 year old who uses the term "dude"? Arguably one could say the cold war lasted until the disolvement of the Soviet Union in 1991 but the "height" of the cold war was not the '80's and '90's which, if Abby is a thirty-something, would have been when she was growing up. I hope the next book in this series gets back to the Abby we know and love. This one was an anomoly
