The Augur's Assassin: A Read Between the Vines Mystery

By Maisie Franklin

Murder wasn't in the cards for Zoe Romano... until it was.

Zoe Romano gave up front-page crime for fine wine, trading the chaos of New York City for the quiet charm of Mystic, Connecticut. Now, she runs Read Between the Vines, a cozy bookshop-slash-wine bar where the biggest scandal is usually who finished the last bottle of merlot.

That is, until the town psychic turns up dead-with a tarot card stuck in her throat.

Everyone in Mystic had a reason to want Madame Zorina to zip it, but only one of them is a killer. And when Chief of Police Derek Cody enlists Zoe's help, she and her meddling staff start uncorking Mystic's best-kept secrets. And a few missing lawn flamingos.

Between pouring wine, dodging well-intentioned chaos, and making sure her own fate doesn't end up in the death card pile, Zoe will need every ounce of wit-and maybe a splash of luck-to solve this case. Because in Mystic, murder might be in the cards... but Zoe refuses to let fate call the shots.
