I got a lot more out of this book than I expected to! The subtitle, with its emphasis on the "more than 100 spreads that give specific answers to your most important questions", is deceiving. The book's strength lies in the in-depth interpretation of each card based on seven different possible themes (general, work, romance, finances, health, spirituality, and empowerment). I took a ton of notes, and bulked up my personal interpretation journal.

However, the spreads themselves are also terrific, with wide application across a variety of scenarios. They're organized by the number of cards required, which makes the earlier spreads quite beginner friendly, and the later ones better suited to experienced readers.

I was a little disappointed that reversed cards weren't covered. I think leaving them out is a major oversight, since they add so much to a reading. I also had to gloss over the predictive nature of the authors' emphasis on how tarot works.

Overall, this is a good addition to any tarot library!

I had read this book back in the late 80's and I liked it back then as much I liked reading it the second time around. This is a PI/Crime Mystery novel and it was a pretty good read. I enjoyed it enough to give it 4 stars.

Readers who like supernatural thrillers that are absolutely fantastic will want to read Total Silence. I picked this book up on a outing to my local used bookstore. I have never read anything by the author; T.J. MacGregor. Of course I never knew it was part of a series until after I read it. I enjoyed the book so much I went and researched to see what other books she’s written and discovered all the other books in the Tango Key Series, Out of Sight, Black Water and the most recent, Category Five. Total Silence is well written. The characters are well developed and very strong, especially the woman. I loved the supernatural elements in the book, they gave you a very chilling feeling. I will be purchasing the rest of this series very soon. Excellent book!… (more)
