‘Takes the psychological suspense novel into new realms of mystery.’ Val McDermid, Manchester Evening News

__________________________________________

Former detective Ray Flowers is contacted by Lily Spencer, an elderly lady who wants him to investigate the murder of her twin sister, Rose. The only thing is — Rose isn’t actually dead yet.

Rose’s death is foretold in a tarot card reading. But Ray doesn’t believe in that kind of thing.

Then an elderly woman is found stabbed to death, with a tarot card left in her outstretched hand.

And she’s not the first to die like this.

Lily may be old but she’s not defenceless. And she’s not giving up on her twin sister.

Can Ray help her stop a serial killer before anyone else dies?

You think you know how it will end . . . but this time you’re wrong.

An utterly addictive mystery thriller for readers who love Emma Healey, Joy Ellis, Gretta Mulrooney, Sarah Pinborough, Barbara Erskine, Alex North and Stephen King.

My Review

This is book 4 in the Ray Flowers series and I haven’t read the first 3 so I can confirm it works fine as stand alone.  However, I am now planning to read the first 3 as I loved this one.

Alice redesigned the Tarot cards as a gift for a friend putting them together as The Book of Angels along with a little book of interpretations and launched it for sale.  Its success could never have been foreseen and it was soon well known among the psychic community.

Ray Flowers is continuing with his security business and was therefore surprised when he was visited by a lady, Lily, wanting him to investigate a murder, one that has not yet been committed.  Elspeth has foreseen this murder and the victim is her twin sister, Rose.

The police are obviously looking on this as a dotty old lady having a ‘moment’ but then the body of an old lady is found holding an ‘Angel’ card.

This is a very intriguing story with some very unique characters.  I do love stories that involve elderly characters as they bring a bit of humour and eccentricity to the story.  Add in the strangeness of the Tarot cards and I am hooked.

An evil old man, a sensitive, insecure young girl and a young woman groomed to kill and you have the makings of a gripping story that will keep the pages turning well into the night.  The inclusion of unique characters just adds to the suspense. I especially like Nathan and look forward to learning more about him.

Thank you to the author and Joffe Books for the advance copy.

“I am the author of more than thirty published crime novels. The first, The Greenway, was nominated for both the Authors’ club award and the CWA John Creasey for best debut novel.

I’m constantly amazed at where life has taken me. Writing had never been on my ‘possible careers’ list, but once stories take root in your brain, they just have to be told – and I feel very fortunate that people want to read them.

In addition to writing I teach creative writing, read and mentor for The Literary Consultancy, am a Royal Literary Fund Fellow and FRSA.”
