"Death In The Cards" is the third book in Sharon Short's Stain Busting Mystery series "starring" Josie Toadfern. Josie inherited Toadfern's Laundromat from her aunt and uncle and has become a stain expert but she's also an amateur detective with a high rate of solving mysteries.
Josie's newest tenants of the apartment she owns above the laundromat have come to town to open a psychic store. However, when they decide to hold a Psychic Fair, there is some opposition -- especially from a local evangelist and his church. When a psychic ends up dead, Josie doesn't agree with the police verdict of suicide and sets out to prove it is murder -- at some risk to herself and those she cares about.
Behind the scenes Josie is dealing with lack of communication in her relationship with her boyfriend, Owen, and she's not sure what the future holds -- if anything -- for their relationship. Also, her cousin Guy, who is autistic, has been having some health challenges and, as his guardian and because she does truly care for him, she is worried.
None of this keeps Josie from solving a murder, though, with a little help from her friends and a deceased school teacher. This was another fun read that I managed to finish in about 24 hours. pazt
