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. It's a good start, but her momentum grinds to a halt when the murder of beloved veteran police officer, Matthew Peterson, shakes her and her small community to the core. Katie is torn. Lieutenant Peterson had saved her life as a child and holds a special place in her past. Even worse, her closest friend Gina--who knows Katie better than she knows herself--is the primary suspect. As the investigation unfolds, the details surrounding Peterson's death become increasingly murky, as does Gina's innocence. All Katie knows is that following her intuition has gotten her this far. But will her trusty tarot deck help her when the truth about the people she loves is too terrible to face?"--]]></description><link>https://mbln.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9332042</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mbln.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C9332042</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chern, Lina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mbln.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9332042075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593500682/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Play the Fool]]></title><description><![CDATA["A cynical tarot card reader seeks to uncover the truth about her friend's mysterious death in this delightfully clever whodunit. For Katie True, a keen gut and quick wit are just tools of the trade. After a failed attempt at adulting in Chicago, she's back in the suburbs living a bit too close to her overbearing parents, jumping from one dead-end job to the next, and flipping through her tarot deck for guidance. Then along comes Marley. Mysterious, worldly, and comfortable in her own skin, Marley takes a job at the mall where Katie peddles Russian tchotchkes. The two just get each other. Marley doesn't try to fix Katie's life or pretend to be someone she's not, and Katie thinks that with Marley's friendship she just might make it through this rough patch after all. So one day, having been encouraged by Marley to practice soothsaying, Katie reads tarot for someone who stumbles into her shop. But when she sneaks a glance at his phone, she finds more than just clairvoyant intel. She finds a photo. Of Marley. With a gunshot wound to the head. The bottom falls out of Katie's world. Her best friend is dead? Who killed her? She quickly realizes there are some things her tarot cards can't foresee, and she must put her razor-sharp instincts to the ultimate test. But the truth has deadly consequences, and Katie's recklessness lands her in the crossfire of a threat she never saw coming. Now Katie must use her street smarts and her inner Strength card to solve Marley's murder-or risk losing everything"--]]></description><link>https://mbln.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C8514475</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mbln.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C8514475</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chern, Lina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mbln.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/8514475075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Mystery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593500668/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Play the Fool]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>WINNER OF THE <b>MARY HIGGINS CLARK</b> AWARD • A cynical tarot card reader seeks to uncover the truth about her friend’s mysterious death in this delightfully clever whodunit, “a delicious blend of suspense and madcap humor” (<i>Library Journal, </i>starred review).</b><br>For Katie True, a keen gut and quick wit are just tools of the trade.
