{ "item_title" : "The Death Card at Dusk", "item_author" : [" Rowan Callery "], "item_description" : "The reading warned of deception, grief, and a structure about to fall.By morning, the woman who sat across the table was dead. In the mountain town of Ember Hollow, tarot reader and apothecary owner Dahlia Moon has spent years helping people name what they already know but cannot yet face. She does not tell fortunes. She reads patterns. She listens for what is hidden beneath the surface. Then travel writer Serena Voss comes to Moon & Thorn for a reading. The cards speak of deception in the environment. Old grief. A truth still buried. The Tower. And, in the outcome position, Death. Dahlia explains what she always explains: the Death card does not predict a physical death. It signals transformation. An ending that clears the way for what comes next. The next morning, Serena is found dead in Dahlia's reading room. Beside the body sits a cup of poisoned tisane.The shop was locked.The spare key was Serena's.And the Death card has been taken from the deck and placed on the table like a message meant for Dahlia alone. Now the town is watching, the sheriff's department is asking careful questions, and Dahlia is left with the one thing she cannot ignore: this was never just a murder scene. It was a reading arranged after the fact by someone who knows her shop, knows her language, and knows exactly how to make the symbol hurt. As she follows the trail through a mountain inn, a journalist's photographs, old grief, hidden money, and the dangerous intimacies of a town where everyone knows everyone else's version of the truth, Dahlia begins to understand that the killer is not simply hiding evidence. They are trying to make meaning out of what they've done. The Death Card at Dusk is an intelligent, atmospheric mystery perfect for readers who love tarot symbolism, quiet women sleuths, mountain towns, layered small-community secrets, and murders where what was staged matters as much as what was done. Step into Moon & Thorn-but don't expect the cards to be the only thing telling the truth slant.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/825/780/9798257804878_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "11.99", "online_price" : "11.99", "our_price" : "11.99", "club_price" : "11.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
