I don't usually read books like this and I wasn't sure that I would like it, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Katie is a mess, but she has a great sense of humor and is interesting to follow. I'm also a sucker for books that take place in malls. This was a pretty light mystery. It was intriguing, but I think the characters are the real compelling element to the story. This one took me a little time to get into, but I'm glad I stuck with it. A unique and engaging story with a nice combination of action and intellectual sleuthing, And it was a nice spin on the police detective-amateur sleuth interaction. An enjoyable debut and I look forward to more from Lina Chern! Thanks to Random House for access to a digital ARC on NetGalley. Oh so outlandish but kinda fun. Quick, snappy, dialog to match the characters, a slightly improbable plot and lots of action made this an enjoyable and quick read. Nothing terribly cerebral, nor believable but it moved, shook and filled a few hours. Rounding up - Lina Chern shows great potential and I look forward to her next book. Thanks to Bantam Books and NetGalley for a copy. I loved the characters in this mystery. Everyone felt really well developed—suddenly intrepid sleuth Katie, her allies, her suspects, even the total side characters (one off and recurring). It made a seedy, criminal underworld mystery feel surprisingly "cozy". Of course, I found the whole central mystery wildly obvious and telegraphed, but I guess you can't have everything. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: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? (Library Journal, starred review). 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. Until the day when Katie, having been encouraged by Marley to practice soothsaying, reads the cards for someone who stumbles into her shop. But when she sneaks a glance at his phone, she finds more than intel to improve her clairvoyance. 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 Katie??s recklessness lands her in the crossfire of a threat she never saw coming. Now she must use her street smarts and her inner Strength card to solve Marley??s Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

I suspected from the start that the murder would turn out not to. Be what it seemed, but I’ll admit what it actually turns out to be would not have been my guess.
