Fatal Fortune by Victoria Laurie

Abby gets a call in the middle of the night from Candice, her BFF, telling her to retrieve a file and tell no one.  The next morning she sees a video that appears to be Candice making a hit on a doctor from Vegas.  Believing that Candice would only do such a thing for a very good reason Abby begins to investigate.
The overall story line is good but I admit the lying gets on my everlasting nerves! Why Dutch puts up with her I have no idea. I would have kicked her to the curb long ago.

Deadly Forcast by Victoria Laurie

Abby and Dutch are coming up to their wedding day.  A bombing case comes into their FBI office and although Abby's crew has told her to stay away she does not listen.

Abby soon gets the feeling that Dutch will die and it is going to be her fault.  Add this stress to the stress of a wedding, a house being finished and working a high profile case and things are not going well.

One chapter leads up tot he wedding, the next chapter deals with the two hours approaching the wedding and features M.J. Holliday and Gill from the Ghost Hunters series.  M.J. also featured in one of the earlier Abby Cooper novels. 

The story line is good but Abby got on my nerves with her passive aggressive behavior.  Why her sister Cat does anything for her I have no idea and why Dutch would put up with some of her behavior I also do not understand.  If this was the first in the series I had read I would stop but I will hold out hope the next one will be a bit better.

Ghouls, Ghouls, Ghouls by Victoria Laurie

Ghostbusters, treasure hunters, mystery solvers all come together in one package in this paranormal mystery.  Part of a series, not the first, that is a fun light read with just enough suspense to keep the pages turning.
Some is a bit fantastical but it was an enjoyable read.

Killer Inisight by Victoria Laurie

Abby is disappointed in Dutch.  She had put so much into Valentine's Day and he gives her a phone, a two for one deal on a phone in fact.  After telling him to leave after he said he needed to concentrate on a case she decides to attend the wedding of a childhood friend in Denver.  Not the best plan after a breakup but she figures a change of scenery may be just what she needs.
Then the bridesmaids start disappearing, one by one.  Abby is trying to stay alive, deal with her feeling for Duffy, another friend growing up, and analyze how she feels about the breakup with Dutch. 
A bit more emotional read with disparaging self-analysis by Abby.  The ending is quick and dramatic.
