Plot or Premise
Margo Fortier, gossip columnist and snoop extraordinaire, knows a recent murder victim, thus giving Margo another shot to write some real news. The victim was a fake psychic that Margo met in astrology class.
What I Liked
Margo’s relationship with Julian is refreshingly moved out of the house and into the outside world as Julian chauffeurs her around. I liked the novel despite the fact that I didn’t particularly care who-did-it, mostly because the behind-the-scenes look at the world of the psychics is so well done and interesting. There’s a cute little twist at the end as well. I also loved numerous little quotes that made me laugh out loud.
What I Didn’t Like
The plot is a little confusing at times trying to keep all the characters straight (no pun intended).
Disclosure
I am not personal friends with the author, but I have interacted with her on social media.
The Bottom Line
Well-written.
