Murder of a Hermit
by Carol Miller

Hope and Summer Bailey have their work cut out for them when a man who seems to be The Hermit from their Tarot card readings is found dead in their back yard!

In the fun and exciting third instalment of the Fortune Telling Mysteries, the Bailey sisters find themselves in very hot water!

An impromptu Tarot reading reveals the stranger who has been watching Hope and Summer over the last few days to be the Hermit – a seeker of knowledge and wisdom. The sisters discover that he has been hired to steal a valuable and potentially dangerous book from them, but only after he’s found drowned in their back garden!

Was he killed to hide the mastermind behind the theft? When a rival fortune teller holds a séance to determine the identity of the Hermit’s murderer, Hope and Summer find themselves accused of the crime. Can they clear their name and figure out who the real culprit is before the book falls into the wrong hands?
