I absolutely adore Ms Victoria Laurie's books! This highly anticipated 8th installment was by far one of the best ones to date. I devoured it in only a few sittings.

Abbey and the gang: Dutch (her sweetie) Candice (her BFF and Private investegator) and Brice (Dutch's boss) Have all packed up and moved to Austin, TX where Abbey has joined the newest chapter of the FBI called CCS or Cold Case Squad. Abby is put behind a desk and instructed to use her abilities to locate lost clues and help resolve some old cases.

While digging around an old car repair shop in Dallas, Abby and another agent are attacked, and in an act of self defense, she finds herself temporarily suspended from the CCS. As a result, Abbey and Candace decide to do some undercover snooping of their own to find the killer of 3 missing young girls from the Dallas area, all while Dutch and Brice are trying to figure out who be-headed 3 random men from the same area.

Candice and Brice are at each others throats, Dutch is faced with a life threatning illness, and Abbey finds herself in some major trouble during a flash flood. The ending was resolved quickly and i was proud to say i figured out who-done-it.

While I LOVED this book I had only one small beef about it. Being that I grew up in Dallas, and traveled to Austin several times, I know the travel time is between 4-5 hours by car. However in this book it indicates the travel time to be only 2 1/2 hours at most. Not a big deal, just a tad bit unbelieveable from my end. Overall it was a great read and I cant wait for the next book. I think I hear wedding bells already....
