Description
Hope and Summer Bailey are gearing up for their infamous Halloween party, but a tarot reading featuring the Magician spells doom. Especially when a dead body is found at the party venue!
Everything a magician does is an illusion. A trick. A lie . . . With just days until Halloween, preparations are in full swing for the Bailey sisters' annual spooktacular bash! To help a friend in need, the location has moved from Bailey's Boutique - much to the chagrin of some of their customers. Yet Hope and Summer still plan to make the ghoulish gathering a success. That is until a Tarot reading spells doom! The sisters try to heed the warning of the Magician card, but avoiding strangers is easier said than done when a truck load arrives on their doorstep. Soon their 'new friends' are causing mayhem. Especially when one of them is discovered at the party venue - dead. With only their friends as possible suspects, Hope and Summer don't know who to trust anymore. Did the murder victim learn something he shouldn't have? Or was he simply collateral damage? One thing's for sure, the sisters must be wary of magicians bearing treats! In the fun fourth instalment of the Fortune Telling Mysteries, the Bailey sisters find themselves once again in the middle of a murder investigation foretold by the Tarot. Fans of Wendy Corsi Staub and Anne George will enjoy!
