Tarot and Trouble

A tarot reader turns amateur sleuth when a man is found dead with the Devil card from her deck stuffed in his mouth, perfect for fans of the magical mystery in The Tainted Cup.

Lilibet Jones learns to expect the unexpected after taking a job as a clerk-slash-tarot reader at Magnus’s Mysterium. But when the hotly contested Southtown mayoral race brings protestors to the storefront, even the cards couldn’t have predicted what comes next. 

The body of Jonah Joshua Turnip, who was leading the demonstrators, winds up in a dumpster behind the Mysterium with a pink boa tied around his neck and a Devil card in his mouth.

Pursued by a dogged, albeit attractive, reporter and suspected by the police when the card turns up missing from her own deck, Lily realizes she will need to find the murderer herself before she and her new friends have no future at all. If only the tea leaves didn’t keep spelling out death…

Tarot and Trouble is a warmly funny, lightly magical mystery about the people who don’t fit in anywhere else—and the lengths they’ll go to protect the place where they finally do.
