I had no idea that so many spirits were hovering around just to prove that Abby's powers are genuine. The book was great, but the constant grandstanding "oh, you don't believe me? Your dead relative says _______" really ruined it for me. There was also one part where Laurie really contradicted herself, as in one part where she said that psychics weren't always turned "on", yet Abby is always able to switch on to contradict a skeptic or get that oh so convenient clue.

Anyway, onto the plot. The plot surrounds Abby as she heads back to her old home town for a friend's wedding. What should have been a fun trip back to memory lane turns into disaster when Dutch dumps her on Valentine's day and a missing bridesmaid ends up being dead.

I did enjoy this book, but like I said... Laurie seems to spend way too much time showing off to skeptics. It's a horrible trend in her books that every skeptic is "shown the way", yet the only person who doesn't believe her is automatically a drunk loser. (Who is the only person in the series so far who wasn't convinced by Abby's miraculous psychic abilities.) That normally wouldn't be so bad, but I get the feeling that Laurie's using these books to lash out at the naysayers. The book is good & I recommend it, I just wish that the books weren't so formulaic. If not for that problem I would have easily given this book a much higher score.
