Since I'm out of school on break, I'm trying to go for runs outside my neighborhood. This week I ran at one of our forest preserves. It was a hot one, but every day is a hot one this summer. After my run, I thought, what the heck, let's finish this book. "Play The Fool" by Lina Chern is about a woman who is stuck. She works at a store in the Mall and has one friend. Then that friend is killed. Our main character is obsessed with finding the killer and makes some questionable decisions on the way. It's sort of a cozy in that an amateur sleuth is trying to solve a murder, there is a romance subplot, and our main character has a quirky skill (she's a tarot card reader). It's also not a cozy. It's a great read. I highly recommend adding it to your TBR.

Glad to hear you found a good one. It's extreme heat here today so we aren't going out but it will be better later this week.

Props to you for running in this heat - I wilt just thinking about it! A forest preserve sounds like a beautiful place to run and cool down with a book after.
Good for you to get out running. I will stick to water jogging in the pool. This sounds like an interesting read. I don't think I've read any books with Tarot Card readers in them.
