Madam Tulip and the Knave of Hearts is a very good book.
It's about Derry as Madam Tulip and after finding out, along with her friends, that the theater palace has fallen, she and her friends set up a art auction to try and raise money for repairs. She soon meets a woman named Octivia who invites her to her castle and asks for a reading.
Derry soon finds herself caught up in a mystery when the Earl gets a package with a gross item inside. What is it and who does it belong to?
As she tries to find it, she gets caught up in bad things. What happens and who sent the package? Read on to find out.
5 stars.
A millionaire banker, a film producer with a mysterious past, a gun-loving wife, a PA with her eyes on Hollywood, a handsome and charming estate manager—each has a secret to share and a request for Madam Tulip.
As Derry and her friend Bruce race to prevent a murder, she learns to her dismay that the one future Tulip can’t predict is her own.
Madame Tulip and the Bones of Chance is the third Madam Tulip adventure.

Jennifer's Review
This is my review of Madam Tulip and the Bones of Chance.
It’s the 3rd book of the Derry O’ Donell series.
Derry is at a castle trying to make a movie, but the movie gets ruined and never happens.
Instead, she is offered a chance to play her character, Madam Tulip, and tell fortunes at a Halloween party. She soon learns that something bad is going on between a couple, but in order to find out what it is, she gets kidnapped with her friend Jessica, and they get thrown into a confusing meeting.
The two men who kidnapped them tell them the whole truth about what they overheard, and they soon learn who it was that tried to kill them when they were on their way to a picnic. Who was it? Why were they shot at? What happens after they get kidnapped? Do they get rescued? Do the bad men get away?
You need to read this book to find out. I liked it a lot.
I give it 5 stars.
