Two tarot-savvy cats and their tenderhearted human outwit a cruel criminal in this animal-centric whodunit.
Most days, Ruby Sparks feels like the sign that says "Tarot Card Reader Extraordinaire" should say "Tarot Card Reader Fairly Competent." But as challenging as it is to take care of her half-sister's New Age shopโand her growing menagerie of enchanted petsโRuby never worries that she's bitten off more than she can chew...until a customer wants her to divine the truth about a murder.
When her own life is threatened with a double dose of danger, Ruby begins to wonder if she's being played for a fool. Luckily, she has Ophelia and Brandonโsibling black cats with a talent for tarotโand a feisty pit bull friend who all lend a paw in collaring the culprit before Ruby finds herself taking her final cat nap.
