Summary of A Vision of Murder: A Psychic Eye Mystery, by Victoria Laurie

Delve into the quirky world of 'A Vision of Murder' where Abby Cooper's psychic insights lead to hilarious twists and thrilling mysteries.

Welcome to the colorful and slightly chaotic world of A Vision of Murder, where psychics and murder mysteries are just another day in the life of our protagonist. If you've ever thought your visions were just last night's pizza talking, wait until you meet Abby Cooper, a psychic who can really see things-like crimes that need solving.

Abby isn't your run-of-the-mill medium; she's got the whole "psychic" bundle down to an art. With her special ability to see visions, she's not just spicing up her life; she's juggling murder mysteries like they're hot potatoes. The book kicks off with Abby getting dragged into a murder case that would make even Sherlock Holmes raise an eyebrow. It starts when she finds herself in the middle of a crime scene that looks like it's ripped from a true-crime show, complete with frantic police officers and a body. Spoiler alert: People aren't happy about her intrusive visions.

As Abby navigates through clues that seem to pop up like wildflowers in a sunny meadow, she also has her own set of personal dramas. Cue a hunky love interest who makes her heart race faster than a speeding bullet. And let's not forget her overbearing friends, who somehow manage to be both supportive and slightly annoying-because what's a psychic without some drama, am I right?

The plot thickens when Abby's visions lead her to connect the dots between the victim and a complex web of characters who definitely have secrets to hide. From suspicious ex-boyfriends to overly sweet shop owners, each character is acting like they are auditioning for a role in a soap opera. As Abby dives deeper, expect some hilarious moments where the supernatural meets the absurd, and our heroine must rely on her wits and her visions while the police force doesn't exactly count her as their top consultant.

But it wouldn't be a true mystery without some plot twists that come out of nowhere, leaving you saying, "Wait, what?!" Just when you think you've figured it all out, there's another layer of intrigue, because why make it easy on Abby? She learns that the art of investigation, much like her psychic abilities, requires a bit of luck and an abundance of stubbornness.

As the climax approaches, Abby races against time and a few rather angry characters in this quirky tale, leading to a resolution that brings the story full circle. Just when you think everyone gets what they deserve, of course, Abby's visions throw in one last curveball, reminding us-and her-that the world of crime is as unpredictable as, well, a psychic's next vision.

In the end, A Vision of Murder combines humor, mystery, and a dash of the supernatural to create a story that's as entertaining as it is puzzling. By the last page, you'll be left wondering if you, too, might have a hidden talent for solving mysteries or if just talking to your houseplants might be the extent of your psychic potential.

So grab your popcorn, because Abby Cooper is on the case, and trust me, this ride is one you don't want to miss!
