San Francisco astrologer Julia Bonatti's life turns upside down when she's targeted by Reverend Roy, cult leader of the Prophet's Tabernacle.

When a long-lost nephew arrives, Julia recalls that Mercury, messenger of the gods, was also a trickster and a liar.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Madness of Mercury by Connie Di Marco is a mystery about a group of people believing one guy about everything wrong in California.

Will Julia be able to figure out what is going on with her client's aunt?


Julia Bonatti


Julia Bonatti is the main character that has a job as an astrology person. She is an interesting character, and I'm not sure that I believe in the whole astrology angle. It's a great concept for a book, but I never used astrology like that before. Julia is a great sleuth and has done a great job in solving this case. I like her because she has a great way of treating her clients like family to her. It's cool how she does the whole astrology thing to solve a person's worries.

The Mystery


All of this started because Julia's client's aunt wanted to talk to Julia as she is worried about what is happening to her. Julia tries her hardest to help her client's aunt and ends up stumbling on a huge mystery. It's pretty interesting how everything is unfolding for it. I got who did it, but I'm surprised by the motive. I feel bad for everyone that is involved with the killer.

Four Stars


The Madness of Mercury by Connie Di Marco is an interesting story about what happens when ordinary people believe a guy that isn't a nice person. Ms. Di Marco did a fabulous job on this story, and it's a fascinating story. The mystery had me. It's getting 4 stars from me.
