A Mysterious Review of Fool Me Once by Steve Hockensmith and Lisa Falco. An Alanis McLachlan, Tarot Mystery.
Review summary: This is, on balance, a generally entertaining novel, but one without much substance. Fortunately, the series lead is such a delightful character to follow around; if she were any less engaging this would be a poor excuse for a mystery as the plot is really thinly developed and not particularly well executed.

An Alanis McLachlan, Tarot Mystery
Midnight Ink (August 2015)
Publisher synopsis: Since taking over the White Magic Five and Dime, Alanis McLachlan has been tracking down old customers and making amends for her mother’s con jobs. So when Marsha—one of the shop’s most loyal clients—comes looking for a way out of her abusive marriage, Alanis does everything she can to help.
But lending a hand leads to unforeseen consequences, including the murder of Marsha’s husband. Now Alanis has to use her wiles to undo a mess of her own making. Her growing mastery of the tarot might help her find the truth … if the killer doesn’t get to her first.
