Gerard Hardy's Misfortune: A sea-change mystery Kindle Edition
(2019)by Dorothy Johnston

According to local legend, the historic Royal hotel in the Victorian coastal town of Queenscliff is haunted. Having served as both a mental asylum and a morgue in the early days it could hardly fail to be, but a bizarre murder in the hotel's basement puts a decidedly eerie spin on things.

The victim is an academic, obsessed with spiritualism, the tarot and the town¡¯s most famous literary resident, Henry Handel Richardson. From the outset, the local knowledge and unorthodox methods of Queenscliff¡¯s police officers, Chris Blackie and Anthea Merritt, are ridiculed by the bull-necked Detective Inspector Masterson from Geelong¡¯s CIU. And yet, hard-nosed police investigation practices seem ill-equipped to counter the otherworldly influences at play.

What DI Masterson believes is an open and shut case turns out to be anything but.

Anthea began creating a large cross with the cards. She looked up and smiled. ¡®I tell you what¡¯s ironic. I got into trouble for buying my own tarot pack and now Mrs Marr¡¯s using the tarot to bamboozle the inspector. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s done her homework and knows what the cards mean.¡¯
