Third Eye PI starts with a dream that feels more like a premonition and so it begins.
Cassie Woods and Greg are happily married. Cassie also has a younger sister, Sara, and a best friend, Eryn, with whom she is very close. Cassie is hired for night surveillance to keep an eye on a client’s errant wife, who may be having an affair with Jack Brady, a Karate instructor. However the infidelity she uncovers lies far closer to home than she would like.
So far, so domestic, but then the tale begins to veer away from the simple woman scorned plot, though these aspects are well done, into a concoction of sexual encounters, mystery, intrigue, psychic powers and the sexily attired assistant in a local pet store.
Third Eye PI is a hard book to pin down; in a good way. Essentially it is Cassie’s story from the disintegration of one relationship to her serial sexual awakening fueled by the constant demands of her loins. It’s funny, charming, sexy and exciting, and rattles along at a cracking pace. Though occasionally the breathlessness of events, and sometimes the author’s overly complex word choices, when a simpler one would suffice, can be a little distracting. But through it all Cassie shines as an interesting and engaging heroine.
Four stars, just don’t read it out loud to your grandmother.
