Synopsis
This year, the Minnesota State Fair—where the heady aroma of grease, beer, and livestock compels folks to consume anything on a stick—has become a murder scene. Someone has poisoned the newly crowned Milkfed Mary, Queen of the Dairy, while her regal likeness was getting carved into Grade A salted butter—a Fair tradition. Will Mira James discover who killed the malicious teen pageant queen? You bet your last deep-fried Nut Goodie!
Praise for the Murder-By-Month Mystery series:
