Now that the sinister events of the past year have wound down, Katie has finally made her dream come true and opened her own tarot reading room—even if it’s in her sister’s old real estate office in an outdoor strip mall.

I just reviewed Tricks of Fortune by Lina Chern

The murder of a police officer shakes a small town, and his connection with a tarot card reader with an investigative itch to scratch makes her a useful resource in Lina Chern’s Tricks of Fortune. With her life in a bit more order and a dedicated space for her tarot readings in her sister’s real estate office, where she also works and has larger tarot jobs curated by her sister, Katie’s found a rhythm to her days but misses being part of investigations and the exciting thrill solving the mystery provides.
