I really enjoyed reading this book. I have read the other books in the series and I like the way Abby and Dutch's relationship has progressed. In this book they move to Austin, and Abby is employed by the FBI. Her description of the city made me want to move there. And the ending of the book was satisfying. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. The sample chapter from the next book really caught my interest. ( )

Question: When a writer has a decent/good series.... Why do they eventually have to make their protagonist do the MOST STUPID Out-of-Character things? Why ruin a likeable character? I just don't get it. Not only does it ruin the series for me, but then I usually stop reading the series.....

That being said:

I'm on page 39 and already I'm peeved: Abby Cooper (psychic investigator) has accepted a job with the FBI (as a civilian "intuitive" investigator), working on cold cases w/ her boyfriend (whom she has been with for 3 years) and one of his friends. On her first day at work, she immediately comes up with clues to 2 unsolved murders and the FIRST thing her agent/boyfriend does is discredit her knowledge. Well, I'm going to tell you if it had been me, I'd have told him to GFH and walked off the job! So already from the beginning I have problems with this book!

Now her best friend, Candace (who is dating another agent in charge of the project) has convinced Abby to STEAL a case file, so they can secretly work on it together.... WHAT A CROCK! I'm So done! ( )

Synopsis on this site accurate. Eight books in and still fresh and going strong and true to characters in earlier books. Dutch and Abby not as angst ridden and quarrelsome. Lotta action. Lots happening on the personal side that makes it hard to review without spoilers. Just an enjoyable read. ( )

I've always been a fan of this series, but some of the books I've liked much more than others. This was one of the ones I liked the most. An easy, enjoyable read with a cast of likable characters and a plot and sub-plot that come together nicely. I'm looking forward to her next one. ( )

Enjoyed reading this installment in the move to Texas. Abby still comes across as smart and spunky, though still snoopy. Looking forward to reading more in this series. ( )
