In my current WIP, there are four "suicides" (that actually turn out to be murder) and there are Tarot cards left at the scene.
In the beginning, before it's discovered that they are murders, how would the news (TV, papers) go about covering this? I'm assuming they wouldn't say a whole lot, if anything. The thing is, I need my MC to find out about the Tarot cards in some manner. She is psychic, but I have her finding out several key points via her abilities and do not want this to become a situation where her psychic abilities do the work for her.
Also, I read somewhere else that the suicides would be considered homicide unless proved to be suicide? For plot reasons, that can't happen b/c then there wouldn't be anything for my MC to discover. How could I wok this so they are considered suicides until she proves that they are murder?
