About this listen
“Delightfully layered. The tarot readings bring a fresh and bright angle to this modern mystery. Mia P. Manansala has created an endearing voice in Danika—an intuitive, intelligent, and emotionally sharp amateur sleuth.” —Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author of Finlay Donovan is Killing It
Danika Dizon is a natural problem-solver. Thanks to her private investigator mom and mystery author dad, she's equipped with the skills to offer guidance to anxious classmates who come to her for a tarot reading between classes. For a price, of course.
But when one of her clients vanishes shortly after they're dealt a death card, the girl’s younger sister Gaby begs Danika to figure out what went wrong. Danika takes on the case, thinking it's the perfect way to prove to her parents that she should be an official investigator in the family’s detective agency.
What starts off as a compelling challenge quickly devolves into something darker as Danika and Gaby peel back layer after layer of the secret life the missing girl has been living. A life that those involved would do anything to keep from being revealed…

“Death in the Cards is filled with Mia P. Manansala’s trademarks: an unforgettable voice, witty humor, mouthwatering food, and a tight-knit family the reader feels a part of. An entertaining, page-turning mystery.” —Gloria Chao, author of The Ex-Girlfriend Murder Club and Ex Marks the Spot
“Death in the Cards begins with a question and ends with a satisfying twist. Manansala has crafted a mystery any Veronica Mars lover will enjoy.” —Jumata Emill, author of The Black Queen and Wander in the Dark
"The various cultural elements, from Filipino family dynamics and martial arts to the art of tarot, are lovingly represented....A well-paced and intriguing mystery." —Kirkus Reviews
“A gripping story full of twists and tension and starring a main character it’s impossible not to root for… will keep readers guessing until the last page.” —Booklist

“A grounded mystery with spiritual tarot elements .... Manansala’s snappy prose and the characters’ sharp banter make for an enjoyable read. A wealth of classic teen sleuth conventions recalls Veronica Mars’s charm.” —Publishers Weekly
"Between the emphasis on tarot readings, the mechanics of the martial art Kali, extensive, mouth-watering descriptions of Filipino dishes, and its particularly punny title, this novel cements itself as a solid YA counterpart (or gateway) to adult cozy mysteries." —The Bulletin
