The nineteenth book in the Miss Fortune series has a carnival in town. While Fortune is focused on eating her weight in funnel cakes, Gertie, Ida Belle and Walter are more interested in riding some rides and exploring the venue, and drag Fortune along.
When Celia, a long-time thorn in Gertie's side, comes running out of the funhouse, screaming, and runs full-tilt into a mirror, knocking herself out, Fortune and friends go into the funhouse to see what caused Celia to panic. Inside, they find Emmaline LeBlanc, the mother of Fortune's boyfriend, Carter, knocked out on the floor. While waiting for the paramedics to arrive, Fortune discovers a dead body a few steps away. She keeps this knowledge to herself until Emmaline is on her way to the hospital, and she and her
Carter, the deputy sheriff of Sinful, is involved in the case because of his mom's serious injury, so the State Police send Palmer Reed, the worst of their detectives ( a man who has disliked Carter since childhood) to solve the case. He manages to annoy everyone he meets, and doesn't seem to know how to run a case. T
This means that Fortune, Ida Belle and Gertie get on the job of solving the case.
This was a great addition to the series, and I'm looking forward to the next in the Miss Fortune books!
In both my 2021 Reading Challenge, and my 2021 Craving for Cozies, this is number 15.
