Fiction. Mystery. HTML:When her relationship with FBI agent Dutch Rivers skids to a halt, Abby Cooper is fully aware that a wedding isnâ??t the best post-breakup scenario. But when a friend from the Mile High City finds herself short one bridesmaid, it doesnâ??t take a professional psychic to see the opportunity for a much-needed getaway.

High altitudes can be healing, and Abby reunites with friendsâ??especially her childhood crush Duffy McGinnis, now town sheriff...not to mention tall, dark, and yummy. But Abby needs more than a shoulder to cry on. One bridesmaid after the next is mysteriously flying the coop, and Abbyâ??s intuition tells her their final destinations arenâ??t pretty.

With the wedding party falling apart and her gift of sight never quite so foggy, Abby has to save the dateâ??and herself from becoming the next taffeta-clad tar… (meer)

The Short Version
Not one of the strongest in this series, we don't really get much in the way of visions/help from Abby's crew. Just a lot of prophetic death dreams - which we KNOW because the book opens with Abby being killed.

We get nowhere on the relationship front since Abby high-tails it out to Denver for a best friend's wedding to get over the heartache of thinking she and Dutch have broken up without ever actually talking things through like a pair of adults. And the replacement version is just Imitation Dutch, basically. Hot law enforcement prone to scolding her (though a bit more prone to believing in her powers)...

The mystery and the culprit felt fairly predictable, which wouldn't have been a problem if we had had more interaction with side characters I enjoy (Dave, Cat), but being in a new place, we didn't have much there either. ( )

Very good (I have to confess to almost detracting a star for last page comment from Dutch with "Vegas" in the sentence). More steadily on mystery than first books without Abby's usual appointments. Trip to best friends wedding a good way to fill in some of Abby's backstory but a little convenient and formulaic--not real believable that none of these close-as-family wedding party members heard of in previous books (ok, occasional text/email/mention of Ellie I vaguely remember). Wasn't sure who the bad guy was until last chapters; but, made sense--I blame lack of sleep from too many pre-orders hitting my ereader at once.

Abby character still her usual quirky self and why I am enjoying this series (a good judge of that is that I have pre-ordered the July 2012 release of the new one).

Would have rated higher if Abby had stayed more in character. I mean, it's believable that you do weird things when you breakup with someone; but, the sudden start/stop thing with old crush so out of character for someone who previously took 3 books to get somewhere in the romance department. The seeing connected energy thing if people involved came out of nowhere unless I missed something in first books (that is, a ghostly/foggy image of loved one showing over a person's shoulder--seems like could have simplified everyone's love life including Abby's already).

Great twist! ( )

Good for light vacation reading. Little bit of wedding drama, didn't quite see whodunnit (so I guess I'm no "psychic eye!") ( )

As I looked down the black barrel of the .38 pointed directly at my chest, and into the familiar eyes of my killer, all I could think was, I'm a friggin' psychic for Pete's sake!
