The Hanging Girl

by Eileen Cook

A twisting, turning thriller from the author of With Malice

Two girls, one fatal reading . . . because the truth always lies in the cards

Skye's mother believes she has 'the gift' - the ability to see the future. Skye however can only see the opportunity to make money - and happily fleeces her gullible classmates into handing over their cash to hear their futures through Skye's well-worn tarot cards. But it's all for a good cause, right? Skye needs to save her hard-earned cash to go to New York with her best mate Drew.

Then the local mayor's daughter, Paige, disappears - and Skye has a tip off about her whereabouts. Skye is uncomfortable about the source and masks the tip off as a vision.

But things get wildly out of control when Paige is found murdered and Skye is a prime suspect . . .

I was looking forward to this book. I like a mystery every once and while, and this one sounded interesting. Although the bulk of the plot seemed familiar, I did enjoy it. There were a few red herrings there that seemed promising, but I did realize who really did it, which did not spoil the experience. I think I am just so tired of the constant politics, which I try to escape by reading. I usually let these things slide, but because of my current mood with everything that is going on, it just tainted it for me.
