Play the Fool by Lina Chern
5.0
I'm so glad I started this book! Play the Fool was such a fun read. Katie True is in her late 20s and never quite launched. She works at a store at a Russian gift store in the mall, was formerly a tarot reader, and sees people in terms of their tarot card. Early on she discovers her friend has been murdered when a strange man enters her store looking as if he was assaulted. She sees a picture of her friend Marley's dead body on his phone.
Katie reports the murder to the police, but there is no body, hence they cannot open an investigation. She investigates Marley's death and previous life. Marley's character was fascinating to learn about. The writing is very snappy and conversational and pretty funny at times. I would suggest Play the Fool to those who enjoy the Finlay Donovan series. I listened to the audiobook, which was so well-narrated by Kristen Sieh, one of my all-time favorite narrators.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
