A traveling carnival. Bitter rivalries. And a killer hiding in the background.
Golden Glen's annual Summerfest is the event everyone looks forward to-sunshine, food stalls, carnival rides, and a town full of visitors ready to celebrate. But when the Spencer & Spencer Carnival arrives, it brings more than bright lights and entertainment. It brings old grudges, dangerous secrets, and a murderer.
When one of the carnival's most hated members is found dead, the celebration comes to a shocking stop. Even worse, Maiden Harlow's father becomes the prime suspect.
Determined to clear her father's name, Maiden uses her extraordinary memory to uncover what others have missed. But the carnival's cheerful fa ade hides a world of rivalries, betrayals, and secrets that some people will do anything to protect.
Captain David McAlister wants Maiden away from the investigation, but he can't ignore the details she uncovers. As the evidence points toward someone inside the carnival, they must work together to find a killer before the final performance. Because in this show, the next victim won't be part of the act.
A Fair Chance of Murder is the second book in the Maiden Harlow Mysteries, a dark cozy mystery series featuring an innkeeper amateur sleuth, an experienced detective, small-town secrets, slow-burn romance, and twist-filled whodunits.
