The Emperor Card by Bevan Atkinson

 


My apologies to Netgalley and Electra Enterprises of San Francisco for my tardiness in reading this book and reviewing it.

Xana returns one evening to find a murdered man in her backyard. The police find out that he is actually Xanax fatter and find it hard to believe that she did not recognise her own father whom she and her family believed died years ago. Fast forward to the investigation that she does privately, very thoroughly and precisely, uncovering a trail that the police are far behind, discovering a mining operation which is duping investors and finding her fathers murderer in the process. The Tarot cards were a way for Xana to interpret her feelings for what was happening around her.

Xanas siblings all pulled together, trusted her with the enquiry, despite her mother who was superficial and only wanted to be socially acceptable.

I enjoyed Xanas character and how she very quietly went about what had to be done to find justice for her father.
