The White Magic Five and Dime by Steve Hockensmith and Lisa Falco combines sedona-esque Arizona with tarot cards, a really high number of con artists, and a murder. Alanis McLachlan learns that her long estranged con-artist mother has died and left her the White Magic Five and Dime store. Arriving in Berdache, Arizona she discovers her mother was murdered and decides to try and figure out who did it. To fit into the life her mother was leading she takes up tarot reading. This is a fairly plot filled book with lots of sub-plots to keep things going. Alanis learns more about her mother and discovers things about herself as well as finding the murderer. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery with the challenge to see how far before Alanis they could figure out who did it.
