A carnival comes to Pleasant Pond and it's murder as usual.
Mira wants her life to be a comfortable pattern of cooking at the Soup and Scoop diner and caring for her menagerie of pets.
But what should have been an enjoyable week of summer fun turns to chaos when Mira's overprotective sister Darla shows up unannounced and Mira finds a murder victim at the flea market.
To keep whatever relationship she has with Detective Dan afloat, she shuts down her instincts to investigate while also attempting to manage her sister's unexplained visit. Both stretch Mira to her breaking point.
Another visitor from her past turns up and Mira realizes karma really does pack a wallop. Her relationship issues force her to solve the most recent murder, but will it ruin her connection with everyone she loves?
For Mira's loyal readers this book will explain some of Mira's backstory. And if you simply love a good mystery grab a copy of Carnival and Corpses and enjoy Mira's shenanigans with a side of silly romance.
