Sip Story: “Play the Fool” x Mystical Margarita
🔮 PLAY THE FOOL by Lina Chern 🔮
★★★☆☆
📖 About: A clever whodunit where Katie True, a cynical tarot card reader, takes center stage. Back in the suburbs after a failed attempt at adulting, Katie's life takes a dark turn when her mysterious and worldly friend Marley is found dead. A photo with a gunshot wound becomes a chilling puzzle, and Katie, armed with her tarot cards and razor-sharp instincts, sets out to unravel the truth behind Marley's death.
🍹 Drink Pairing: A shimmery mystical marg of course. Who needs to see the future when you could just enjoy the moment with a delish spooky drink instead?
🌟 Review: This story sounded right up my alley so I was so excited to receive a copy! A girl working at a strange Russian tchotchke shop, who then accidentally falls into solving a murder mystery with a strange cast of characters, settings, and with some spookiness weaved in — sounds like my kind of story. The first third of the book was SO good - it had me extremely entertained and I couldn’t wait to see what happened. Things get pretty wacky and unpredictable after that so I don’t want to give away too much, but if you love strange mysteries then definitely give this one a try!
Thank you to Ballantine and Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review!
