Kendall Scott

A Fair Display of Murder Kendall Scott

It's the 4th of July weekend and as expected, Constance Aberfield is busy beyond belief. Not only is the town itself threatening to burst at the seams, but her hotel is so overcrowded that Constance has had to hire extra staff just so she can find time to go to sleep at night. Really, the only thing that she has to look forward to at this time of year is the annual 4th of July fair. And as always, it promises to be a grand time. A wrench is thrown in the works when the dead body of Razim Talek, the Master of Fireworks for the fair, is accidentally discovered by Constance herself. With the local police force too busy to work the case, it gets thrown onto Constance's ever-increasing workload. Sydney and Eleanor join in on the fun and together, the three friends get about solving a murder. With a multitude of tourists in town and new faces, time is paramount. Constance knows that one of them must be to blame, and come Monday, they'll be gone forever. The only question that remains is: which one can it be? Is it Wade, the sleazy store owner that Constance has a personal hatred for? Is it the too-nice-to-be-real White family, a happy little threesome who aren't all that they appear? Or is it someone else; one of a dozen possible suspects who all have their own motive for wanting to see Razim dead? Only time will tell... the one thing Constance doesn't have to spare.
