Three Card Murder revolves around two sisters who have chosen two very different paths in life, one a cop called Tess, and the other a conwoman called Sarah. I found both Tess and Sarah's characters interesting in their own right. I like how the dichotomy of their personalities slowly diminishes as the book progresses, their character arcs are quite satisfying. The only thing worth mentioning is that there is a lot of miscommunication in this book, but due to personal taste this may not be your thing. The murder mystery plot includes cons and "magic", very complicated crime scenes and it is very clever, it read like a Sherlock Holmes mystery.
This book ends on a insanely unexpected cliff-hanger. I honestly thought my Kindle had glitched and I was unable to turn to the next page. It's not unsatisfying per se, it just comes out of nowhere and I think the book does need a chapter to wrap up the story. Due to the cliff-hanger ending, it hints to more books for Tess and Sarah but I don't know if I personally will pick up another if this turns into a series.
Overall Three Card Murder was an enjoyable read and I liked the twists on the typical murder mystery genre.
