Tricks of Fortune by Lena Chen is the second in her Katie True series, and this time, Katie gets into more trouble than we can imagine. All she wants is to be a tarot card reader, but as it happens, she wakes up to find a dead cop. This cop helped her previously when she was in a scary situation. Tricks Of Fortune is a mystery, eventually addressing who did it. It deals with family ties, buried secrets, and small-town grudges alive in any town. We see that Katie is unprepared for what she faces despite being highly charismatic and charming. While trying to solve a homicide, she’s dealing with her ugly past and questioning who in her life she can confide in. The book is entertaining and encourages the reader to examine their life. This is a fine sequel, and readers will look forward to an additional outing by the steadfast Katie True.
