Synopsis
After taking over the White Magic Five & Dime
But helping Martha leads to unforeseen consequences . . . including murder. When Martha’s husband is found dead, the police show up at Alanis’s door. And things only get more complicated as she tries to clear her name from the top of the suspect list. With her growing mastery of the tarot and the Fool card to guide her, can Alanis find her way to the truth before the killer gets to her first?
We return the The White Magic Five and Dime
This story is so easy to easy to get caught up in. You know Alanis’ heart is in the right place and she does go to great lengths to right her mother’s wrongs. She is also quite savvy and doesn’t get tripped up but those trying to con her or take advantage of her. She has grown quite a bit over the course of these books. The secondary characters are very interesting as well and the author brings them all together with an extraordinary plot with plenty of red herrings.
Each chapter starts with a excerpt from Alanis’ mother’s book, Miss Chance, Infinite Roads in Knowing. that Alanis is reading and to give us a little insight into the Tarot Cards. These are quite humorous.
The author did something I just hate 🙂 he leaves is with a hook for the next book in this series! I hate that because we have to wait a year to get the rest of the story!!
For now this is a terrific mystery. While it can be read as a stand alone I truly recommend you start with The White Magic Five and Dime

I must get the first one off my t-b-r list!
I liked the first book. If I recall correctly, it had quite a bit of a supernatural element which I liked.
Thank you for introducing me to a new author. Fool Me Once sounds intriguing.

You are a new read to me, but now you have me hooked.
I don’t know anything first hand about tarot cards but they sound interesting to me. I love this story line.
Thanks for this unique and intriguing giveaway.
Really looking forward to reading this book.
What an interesting premise. Thanks for the giveaway.
Sounds like fun, and set in good ol’ AZ too. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.
I missed the beginning of this new series, so thanks for letting us know we could start with this one! Congrats to Steve on this new release!
I’m glad this can be read as a stand alone book because I haven’t read the first one yet :(. This one sounds really good, but I really like to read series in order so I’m definitely going to have to add the first one to my TBR list as well.:) Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Steve Hockingsmith. His first books were both funny and suspenseful.
Hockensmith writes such enjoyable mysteries. Try all of them.
Hi Steve, love your cowboy series. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the introduction. Steve Hockensmith is a new author to me so I have added his books to my to be read list. robeader53@yahoo.com
