The tarot talks...but is anyone listening?

In the heart of Southwest London, just a short stroll from the Thames, lies a single row of cottages. Residents may come and go, but they all have one thing in common: Tinderbox Lane - small, enclosed, unknown to any iPhone or supermarket delivery van - is the place they call home.

Foremost among the residents is Dolly Greene: divorced and permanently broke, she shares her tiny house with her 21-year-old daughter, Pippa, who can't afford to leave. Aside from Pippa the other constant in Dolly's life is her tarot business, and when Dolly reads the cards for the magnificently voluptuous and highly sexed Nikki on a stiflingly hot summer's day, her tarot patter is interrupted by a sudden vision - a flash of Nikki's face covered in blood and bruises. Death hangs over her, but there is an etiquette to reading tarot, and Dolly will not talk of murder to her client.

A few days later, when the body of a battered woman is washed up by Chiswick Bridge, Dolly is haunted by the belief that Nikki's time may have come up...but can she be sure? How far is Dolly prepared to go to act on her intuition? And will Sergeant Raff Williams, the officer assigned to investigate the murder, think Dolly's hunch insane?

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2019

Two things I love: Tarot and mysteries.

The story is good, clever twists and turns that keep you guessing. The conclusion is disappointing as nothing really happens. Told mainly from Dolly’s perspective although there are the occasional shifts into other POVs - sometimes too subtle and I needed to reread to work out who we were following.

Repetition is used to the point of annoyance in the novel and I rolled my eyes more than once to see the author repeating phrases. If I’ve been told once about Tesco, I don’t need to be told a second time thanks.

There were several typos which became too numerous for me to ignore. The involvement of Tarot seemed a bit pointless. It only really came to prominence towards the end and seemed to play no real role in the story.

All that said, I did enjoy the plot such as it was and it kept me reading until the end. I’m unlikely to purchase the next novel however as cons outweighs the pros.

A joyful little Murder Mystery with an unusually talented heroine.

Thoroughly enjoyed this little book. Doesn't take long to read but is in no way insubstantial. Well written on an unusual topic - Tarot reading - which made it not only enjoyable but also an intriguing and interesting twist on a familiar genre. It is a perfect holiday book, I look forward to reading more about the delightful. Dolly Green and her Tarot cards.

I predict you'll enjoy this book.

I certainly did. Despite the lack of car chases and shoot outs there's enough excitement and humour to keep this story rattling along. Dolly is as down to earth and witty a character to ever grace the pages of crime fiction, notwithstanding the touch of eccentricity and hint of supernatural that she brings along with her. As soon as I hit submit on this review I shall be straight onto Amazon to look for book 2.

Cleverly written with a great plot

Loved The Prime of Ms Dolly Greene. Cleverly written with a great plot that makes you want to keep on reading and turn over the next Tarot card to see what's in store. A great whodunit in which I could vividly picture all the characters. Really looking forward to lots more sleuthing from Tinderbox Lane and more adventures with DollyG.

Love love LOVE Dolly Greene - tarot sleuth!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2017

Cracking modern day murder mystery, tantalisingly occult and shot through with witty little insights that resonate with our generation and make me imagine myself just a little bit Dolly every day I've been reading it. I must be just a weeny bit psychic somewhere deep down! So readable - got to be the stuff of the next big tv dram/com I reckon...
