SILVER FALCHION AWARD JUDGES' TOP PICK COZY MYSTERY
Spring is blooming in Apple Station, Virginia, and advice columnist Olivia Penn's new romance is heating up. With love in the air and the carnival in town, life seems picture-perfect, until a stranger shows up at her door with carnations and a cryptic message for her friend.
When Olivia follows the trail and finds her friend standing over a dead body, she discovers there's more to the carnival than just fun and games. Compelled to keep an impossible secret from both her new love and the police, Olivia is recruited to go undercover and investigate who among the quirky carnival crew had a motive for murder.
In a race to protect her friend and solve the crime, she must trust a man she never expected to see again. Together, they carry out a daring plan to unmask a killer and save the lives of thirty very precious, valuable feathered friends.
With the killer on the verge of vanishing without a trace, justice hinges on quick thinking and a bold move. Will she and her new love survive to see another day?
