Sunny agrees to read tarot cards at the annual Summer Solstice Carnival and thats where she meets Fiona Atwater. Fiona and Granny Gert are bitter enemies and whenever they get near each other a war of words breaks out. When a local baker get run over by a big white Cadillac that just happens to belong to Granny and both she and Fiona are at the crime scene they must cast their differences aside as they find themselves in very close quarters.

Sunny knows she should keep her nose of the investigation and let Mitch handle it but she cant ignore her visions and leave Grannys life in fates hands.

Dollycass Thoughts

Each installment to this series is better than the last and the first two were excellent.

In this 3rd Fortune Teller Mystery, Sunnys cat Morty just steals the show. He is a fantastic feline with very special capabilities that put him in the right place at the right time always looking very fine in his bow ties.

The ongoing feud between Granny and Fiona drives the story. They each try hard to outdo each other is everything from crafts to baking. They are both determined to win the Bake Off at the carnival but a dead body puts the kibosh on both their plans and brings Sunnys parents for another visit.

Plus Quincy Turner from the Parks and Recreation Department is not happy that the proceeds from this years carnival are not coming to him but instead going to Ozzie Zukermans Animal Angels to support his new animal rescue shelter. This creates a riff between this men that boils over to effect things way beyond the local park.

Townsend has created more than one clever mystery with a murder and someone sabotaging the carnival. She has also added some colorful new characters and the romance between Tink and Grumpy Pants hits a few bumps in the road.

I started this story and could not put it down until I reached the last word. Kari Lee Townsend writes fun mysteries with a feisty psychic protagonist that are destined to be loved cozy readers everywhere! You dont need to be clairvoyant to see a bright future for this author!
