It’s always fun to take a book off the shelf and share it with you. Today’s book, FATAL FORTUNE by Victoria Laurie, is the 12th installment in her Psychic Eye Mystery series, and a delightful cozy murder mystery.In celebration of this release (thanks to Victoria and the lovely Kayleigh at Penguin Group), I have a print copy of FATAL FORTUNE to giveaway. Please see the end of the post for more details.
Here’s a brief description of FATAL FORTUNE:
In New York Times bestselling author Victoria Laurie’s newest Psychic Eye Mystery, Abby Cooper is trusting her intuition and heading to Sin City to bet on a friend’s innocence....
When police show Abby surveillance video of her best friend and business partner, Candice Fusco, shooting a man in cold blood, she can’t believe her eyes. And when the cops tell her they think the victim has ties to the Mob —and perhaps Candice does too — she can’t believe her ears. Surely there is a logical explanation. But Candice is nowhere to be found.
Abby decides the only way to find out the truth is to go to Vegas herself —which may be the biggest gamble of her life. Once in town she begins to uncover a rigged game of dirty double-dealing where the stakes are no less than life and death. And if she’s not careful, Abby can forget about ever leaving Las Vegas...alive.
This 304-page mystery (Obsidian Mysteries. Hardcover; July 1, 2014, $24.95.ISBN: 978-0451240613) can be read own its own.
Here is what others are saying about the Psychic Eye Mysteries:

Can't believe I missed this series. Would love to read this!
ReplyDeleteJanie, it's a fun series. Do be sure to check it out.
DeleteI had a conversation with a palm reader once, somewhere in Mexico He looked at my hand and then looked me in the face with a very shocked expression. "You've certainly experienced a lot of suffering in your life, haven't you?" he said. Then he told me I had an unusual, broken lifeline but I could tell that his heart wasn't in it and he never did say anything more.
ReplyDeleteCarl, I hope he was wrong about the suffering in your life. I've often wondered what a palm reader would say about my hands.
DeleteI wouldn't want to go to a psychic. If they could tell me what will happen in my life I wouldn't want to know.
ReplyDeleteMaureen, I'm not sure I would want to know either especially if it was bad news.
DeleteWhat happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...
ReplyDeleteAlex, well said.
DeleteShe's a psychic? She's writing what she knows then.
ReplyDeleteDiane, that she is. In fact, she's doing some private readings and I was going to include that in the post but all the slots are already booked.
DeleteSounds like a fun read—thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
