Description
Murder at the Village Fair by Helena Dixon
Kitty Underhay is enjoying a carousel ride—until she encounters death. Summer 1935: enjoying a belated honeymoon visiting her new husband Matt's family in the rolling Yorkshire hills, Kitty strolls through a village fair.
When Kitty persuades Matt to visit the fortune teller's tent, the couple are shocked to find the body of Madame Zaza slumped over her crystal ball, a pearl necklace askew and a half-drunk cup of tea at her elbow. After predicting so many of the villagers' misfortunes, how did she not foresee her own murder?
From a pompous old colonel to a reticent reverend and a dodgy village doctor, Kitty soon feels like half the village had a motive for murder. But with more suspects than tarot cards, she and Matt are no closer to finding the culprit.
Madame Zaza had been part of the community for decades, and discovering a photograph album of the villagers through the years gives Kitty and Matt the breakthrough they've been searching for.
Kitty is soon hot on the killer's trail when her sleuthing puts her in terrible danger. Will her lucky stars align, or is her life line about to run out?
An utterly gripping historical cozy murder mystery.
