A cursed sleuth. A gallery of secrets. Will this cryptic case be her last?

Pet psychic Jolene is still plagued by a hex that keeps her powers on a leash. So when her detective crush asks for help solving a strange murder at the Museum of Magical Artifacts, she hopes to find clues to break her own sorcerous chains. But faced with a web of lies, Jolene’s secret shifter identity might be the very thing that sets her in the killer’s sights.

Along with her not-quite-boyfriend’s lie-sniffing German Shepherd, Jolene puts her nose to the ground to spring a trap on the culprit. But with the elusive villain apparently able to vanish into thin air, she fears her buried past could come back to bite her.

Can Jolene disenchant her own jinx before a murderer casts the fatal blow?

Mouse of Cards is the fourth book in the bewitching Magic Market paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like talking animal sidekicks, delicious riddles, and tough female leads, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s enchanting tale.

Mouse of Cards by Erin Johnson was a skittering tale of information, truth, and friendship.

Will Jolene figure out what her curse really is?

Jolene Hartgrove

Jolene Hartgrove is a pet psychic that sometimes works with police as a consultant in some instances, like ones that involve animals. Joleen hasn’t heard from Peter in a while, she thinks it has to due with what she shared during the last case. That is until a new investigation comes forward that might be able to help Jolene figure out what her curse is. The case this time is different and weird, all at the same time. Jolene will figure it out.

What I like about Jolene is that she realizes that she is meant for so much more since meeting Peter. She feels freer with him and Daisy. The one thing that I disliked is that maybe she is judging Peter a bit too fast with regard to what she told him recently.

The Mystery

The mystery is in a museum that has a new exhibit coming in that is all about cursed objects. The museum’s new PR guy is deceased and two people that work at the museum think it is the cursed objects that have taken another soul. There are a lot of red herrings, and I almost entirely gave up on figuring out who it was until I narrowed it down. I figured it out before Jolene did, but only seconds before she did.

Five Stars

Ms. Johnson has another fascinating case that keeps on giving me more questions and wanting to read another book. I have an idea about Ludlof and Jolene, but I’m not quite so sure about it. Either way, I am giving Mouse of Cards by Erin Johnson a five-star rating and recommending it to anyone that loves an excellent cozy paranormal mystery.
