Derry O’Donnell, out-of-work actress, is talented, a teeny bit psychic… and broke.
Spurred on by an ultimatum from her awesomely high-achieving mother, and with a little help from her theatrical friends, Derry embarks on a part-time career as Madam Tulip, fortune teller to the rich and famous. But at her first fortune-telling gig – a celebrity charity weekend in a castle – a famous rap artist is found dead.
As Derry is drawn deeper into a seedy world of celebrities, supermodels and millionaires, she is trapped in a maze of intrigue, money and drugs.
Madam Tulip is the first in the series of Tulip mysteries in which Derry O’Donnell, celebrity fortune-teller and reluctant detective, plays the most exciting and perilous roles of her acting life, drinks borage tea, and fails to understand her parents.
