Who Do, Voodoo? by Rochelle Staab
4.0
Tarot Cards, Voodoo, and a sexy professor; what's not to love?
Enter lead skeptic, Liz Cooper; a clinical psychologist, a realist, and the biggest doubter in all things not steeped in reason. For every action there is a logical reason. Pan to her mother Vivian, a firm believer in all things occult, especially the tarot cards that she reads what appears to be daily. Her best friend Robin, a very superstitious widow that also believes, especially taking to heart after the ignored reading about her husband. Finally, Nick Garfield, old family friend, sexy professor and best source for occult information.
Robin's husband died the day after a tarot card reading was given warning of the impending accident. Now the first two cards from that reading have been tacked to her door and she continues to receive prank hang-up calls. With the help of Nick, Liz tracks down the owner of the tarot card deck and after a loud confrontation with Robin the owner of the cards is found dead in her car and all signs point to Robin. Its up to Liz and Nick to follow the clues to find out who the real killer is so they can clear her best friend's name. Throughout the "investigation" Liz continues to immerse herself further in the world of her doubts and when she finally opens herself up to the possibility is able to nail the killer.
This is a very cute and well written cozy mystery that literally had me guessing until the revelation who the killer was. I changed my prediction with each passing chapter. I enjoyed the progression of the mystery and the romance. I can't wait to pick up the second book!
