It's not that this book is bad; I really enjoy the characters and the plot is interesting (as is Abby's gift) but after reading the first two books in the series and really liking them, I felt that there was a lot of repetition in this book - things happened to Abby that happened in other books, and I just kind of wished for a little more variety (though the story line/plot IS unique; it's just some of the details of the action that repeats). Worth a read once.

Excellent series. Abby is a little annoying sometimes when she insists on putting herself at risk like the girl in a B movie who learns there's a monster in the basement and rushes down to check it out, but the author's "voice" is very readable and the plot is good.

Another great mystery from Victoria Laurie. The characters just keep getting richer, funnier and in some cases more outrageous. This time Abby, her sister Cat and handyman Dave buy a house to remodel and sell. But Abby has to get the ghosts out first.

Abby gets involved in renovating a "haunted" house and it sends her intuition into overdrive. She must solve the mystery of the murdered ghost in order to rid the house of the spirits that won't move on to "the other side". Her relationship with Dutch also takes some interesting turns as they try to work together. I enjoyed this book and thought it was the best in the series thus far. I'm anxious for the next book to come out!

For the second time I've decided not to go further with this series. It's been more than a few years, and I remembered not liking it after the third...but I did keep them on my bookshelves and I thought why not give it another try? Sometimes my mood changes. But no. I liked the mystery in this one, with the haunted house that holds a secret other than the murder, and I liked how Abby and Dutch tracked it down. But those two are not likable people. Every other day they're yelling at each other and Abby in particular acts like a 5 year old. Laurie makes a valiant effort to write the character but I can't suspend disbelief that Abby, whose spirit guides tell her everything about her clients and always let her know if someone is lying, can continually get in life-threatening danger. The spirits tell her when her boyfriend has an important voicemail, but don't mention the bad guy lying in wait? Oh well. I'll pass the books on to someone who will enjoy them.

The storyline in this third book did not disappoint! I woke up at 3:30 this morning to finish reading it, and it was worth it. One small complaint, though, which is what kept this from being rated 5 stars. Like Abby's "I'm seeing/sensing/feeling" catchphrase in the first book or two, Dutch has his own signature saying in this book- "Sweethot", which I don't know if it's supposed to be an obnoxiously pronounced "sweetheart" or what, but it's annoying after the second time (of many.)

Overall, a great read!

While I really liked the first book in this series, I felt the second wasn't as good and this one was, well, eh. The immature relationship between Abby and Dutch is irritating and at times seems forced. Plus Abby does all these really stupid things with potentially deadly consequences for no real reason that I could see. A lot of the things she ran off to do, could have waited until someone was available to go with her. But maybe that doesn't make for an exciting story. Beats me. All I do know is that if the next book continues on this downward spiral, then I'm done!
