This is a well written tale about a colourful character Beryl, who is a very flawed heroine with a background of cons and scams carried out with her late husband Charlie. She is described as almost overweight and almost sixty. She tries her hand as a medium with great success preying on sad and desperate people, until one night when everything goes wrong. The Tarot cards start shuffling themselves, objects are flying through he air and Beryl's past comes back to haunt her.The pace of the story is good and the plot is interesting, but it has a rushed feel to it and possibly the writer could have spent more time developing some of the rest of the characters and filling in a lot more background about the very interesting sounding Charlie. There is a funny and surprising ending and it leaves you wanting to find out more about Beryl, which is always a good thing.
