Play the Fool by Lina Chern
PLAY THE FOOL by Lina Chern is a very original and super fun mystery read. The story
begins in a mall outside Chicago, where 20-something Katie True is stuck in a
dead-end retail job and trying to cope with a family who disapproves of her
lifestyle choices. At the mall, a bleeding man suddenly asks her to read his
fortune with her Tarot cards and when she manages to sneak a look at his phone,
she sees evidence of a murder. Despite not finding a body, Katie next decides to
convince an attractive cop (the chemistry between them is apparent) that the
victim deserves an investigation. Katie is a clever sleuth on her own; well,
except for staying out of danger. Non-stop action, the involvement of organized
crime, and many more Tarot readings later, readers will be laughing and
cheering for Katie and Officer Jamie. PLAY
THE FOOL, a debut novel, received a starred review from Library Journal (“charming and eccentric
Katie will captivate readers”).
