In this "sinister, jaw-dropping" (Sarah Penner, author of The Lost Apothecary) debut novel from the author of Saltwater, a circle of researchers uncovers a mysterious deck of tarot cards and shocking secrets in New York's famed Met Cloisters.
When Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, she expects to spend her summer working as a curatorial associate at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead, she finds herself assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its medieval art collection and its group of enigmatic researchers studying the history of divination.
Desperate to escape her painful past, Ann is happy to indulge the researchers' more outlandish theories about the history of fortune telling. But what begins as academic curiosity quickly turns into obsession when Ann discovers a hidden 15th-century deck of tarot cards that might hold the key to predicting the future. When the dangerous game of power, seduction, and ambition at The Cloisters turns deadly, Ann becomes locked in a race for answers as the line between the arcane and the modern blurs.
"A tour de force by an important new voice" (Rachel Kapelke-Dale, author of The Ballerinas), The Cloisters is a haunting and magical blend of genres that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The cover of this book completely misled me. What begins as a mysterious adventure suddenly becomes a crime with a mystical touch. Ann Stillwell was first a shy personality, searching for work. Working at the Gothic museum is far from her first choice. Finding a lost deck of tarot cards sparks an interest in Ann to find out more about it. At this point, Ann begins to take charge. She left the shy part behind in the first part of the book. This new version fits her better.
I would have liked a more in-depth introduction to Tarot cards in general. As this story is about Tarot, I found the focus not enough. Maybe some more historical background would have rounded up the story nicely.

A dark and whimiscal book about a old artsy and gothic museum. The main character has not only to deal with the new weird colleagues and the handsome gardener, but also with the mysticism and Tarot cards. It is an interessting read based of a real museum in New York.
