Penelope Phair #3
Divination and Rot
Rookie police officer Penelope Phair fancies herself a tough cookie, but after a string of serial murders, even her nerves are frayed. It’s not as if her anxiety needed a boost. She’s crashing at a coworker’s place after a sudden breakup, pressure is ramping at work, and her mentor Detective Dean is becoming obsessed with finding the dreaded Tarot Card Killer.
And he’s just struck again.
Clues to TCK’s identity are few and far between. He’s shadowy, mysterious, and careful as can be. Only the cards he leaves behind cast any light on his motives.
Lack of results raise tensions sky high, but they reach a fever pitch when the killer comes after Phair. If she’s to have any hope of surviving, she’ll have to put her trust—and her life—in the hands of her team. But that’s easier said than done when malice and rot lurk in wait…

Another good book in the overall series.....

Very well written with lots of twists and turns. While I was not blindsided the conclusion, it was not what I would call a trivial mystery.
The character development was also top notch. The relationships between the characters on the team and even with those who the team is at odds with was really well done.
While I thoroughly enjoyed the Daggers and Steel books, Mr. Berg has really honed his craft since the start of that series and this current series is turning out to be very hard to put down.

Enjoyed greatly
I enjoyed the Steel and Daggers series immensely and was very happy when this series was begun. Following the family line is very fulfilling as a reader, seeing how it develops.
For this particular book I was enthralled from the first sentence. Mr. Bergs ability to weave a story so full of nuances is breathtaking.
