In the Cards

It's all in good fun. 

Kitty Tremaine has agreed to read Tarot cards at the anniversary celebration of the tiny town of Rivertown, where she makes her home.  The annual street fair, held in May, is a charitable event.  The Tarot readings aren't meant to be taken seriously – they're all just for fun.

Until they're not.

It's all fun and games, until someone gets murdered.

Now a young wife is dead, stabbed to death while running in her own town, and the police don't have any leads.

But Kitty might.  Because while the victim didn't ask for a Tarot reading, she did come into Kitty's stall at the fair and she spent time petting Kitty's familiar, the golden doodle mix named James.

Suddenly Kitty can't stop blaming herself for not using every bit of her energy to read every card.  Even if it couldn't possibly have been her fault, she feels responsible in part for Nicole Reardon getting killed, and the only way she can atone is to read the cards during the second weekend of the fair, too.

Just in case the killer comes back.

Just in case the killer wants to know what Kitty reads in those cards.

Now it seems like Kitty's solved the crime.

And put herself right in the path of a killer.
