The Fool Dies Last

The first entry in a funny, spiritual and warm-hearted cozy mystery series that fans of Anne George’s Southern Sisters mysteries will enjoy.

Sisters Summer and Hope Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a small mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. When two of their grandmother's friends die mysteriously with a Fool Tarot card left on their person, Hope is consulted as to what it could mean. Could their grandmother be next? Can Hope decipher the clues before the killer strikes again?

The Bailey sisters may be the only ones able to interpret the meaning behind a bizarre series of murders in the first entry in the hilarious The Fortune Telling Mysteries series.
Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey’s Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. While Hope’s performing a palm reading a local doctor, Dylan Henshaw, bursts in accusing them of trying to kill his patient with a tincture.
During the confrontation the sisters’ grandmother, Gram, interrupts: one of her friends has died suddenly. It looks like a simple allergic reaction . . . but why is there a solitary Tarot card – the Fool – with the body? When another of Gram’s friends dies in similar circumstances, and in possession of a Fool card, it’s surely no coincidence. What ties the victims together and could Gram be next?
Although Hope is hesitant to read the Tarot again following a recent tragedy, she might be the only one capable of deciphering the clues. Can she overcome her fear and uncover the card’s meaning before the killer strikes again?
