    Enjoy all the suspenseful, fast-paced whodunits in the award-winning, bestselling supernatural mystery series—collected for the first time in one volume. 
     
    In author Rochelle Staab’s bestselling A Mind for Murder mystery series, classic Hollywood noir gets a modern, mystical twist. An L.A. psychologist who eschews all things supernatural matches wits with a handsome professor of the occult as they team up to solve Tinsel Town’s spookiest murders . . .  
     
    Divorced psychologist Liz Cooper doesn’t believe in fate, but it sure seems like an otherworldly force is bent on her working with occult professor, Nick Garfield. Whether Liz is tracking a tarot card killer, investigating a neighborhood witch, or clearing her own name in an unusual murder, the strange cases keep coming. And while Liz takes a practical approach to sleuthing, Nick explores the more alternative theories. But be it with practical evidence or preternatural clues, Liz and Nick won’t quit until the cases are solved. 
     
    Packed with snappy banter, sizzling chemistry, and a supporting cast of characters as unique as L.A. itself, the A Mind for Murder mysteries are a smart and sophisticated series that proves it’s far more fun when great minds don’t think alike . . .

    Book 4 The Fool’s Journey Series 
    Noel Eastwood’s unique blend of rollicking good storytelling and the wisdom of esoteria and the Tarot continues in this much anticipated sequel. Follin and his wife, Eve, have completed their lessons with the pragmatic Pentacles, the intellectual Swords and are now faced with the heady world of emotions in the Cups Kingdom. The lovers find that a safe and secure relationship is not so simple, it requires considerable insight and personal sacrifice. The spiritual lessons outlined in the Cups journey will benefit those on the same mystics journey as our heroes, be it to go beyond the world of matter in the astral planes, or to develop strategies that will make your love life fulfilling and secure. 
    Adopting a narrative approach, Noel once again demonstrates how he uses the imagery and metaphors of tarot in meditation. 
    Originally written for Tarot practitioners Noel’s Fool’s Journey Series has found a broader audience in those interested in personal growth. Through Follin we come to respect, and delight in, The Fool in all of us.
