Here is a fiction book that came out in May with pretty good reviews. It's mainstream and the criminal profiler uses a tarot deck to track down the unsavory.

Here's a couple of 20th-century American novels that mention tarot:
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy has a scene where an old woman foretells doom based on a character's draw of the Chariot, inverted.
Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon refers to tarot cards several times, and includes reading for two characters toward the end: http://gravitys-rainbow.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Weissmann's_Tarot.

I like Speak Daggers to Her by Rosemary Edghill, which is the first of the Bast mysteries, and included with the other two in Bell, Book and Murder. Bast is a Gardnerian Witch living in NYC who occasionally reads tarot at a local bookstore. There is a brief mention, with fun details, about one of her tarot reading sessions in SDTH. The Bast books are a really terrific read, and although I seldom re-read fiction, I enthusiastically revisit these every year or so.

i am surprised noone has made a chick lit book about a perpetually single woman that reads tarot and specialises in romantic readings, but yet she is still single.

Not quite what you were suggesting - so there is still room for you to write it!

I did the same thing when I got this book from the library! I didn't expect to like it, but it was very funny and touching.

I posted this in another thread but I thought I should post it in this one too because I really like this series. If I'm not mistaken a new book was recently released so I will have to put it on my Amazon wish list.
I'm also hoping to one day pick up the book, The Secret Life of Sparrow Delaney. I am not sure if there are Tarot references/readings in the novel but the cover displays what looks like (very pretty) Tarot cards.
