AlbakiReads Editorial

A carnival murder puts a town on edge

Sheriff Bet Rivers arrives at the carnival grounds expecting a routine inspection, but a gunshot and a body with no apparent trauma turn the visit into a homicide investigation. With no witnesses or clear motive, Bet must make sense of a setting thick with rumours, resentments and concealed information. The case unfolds alongside pressure in her personal life: an unsettled relationship with town owner Rob Collier and unresolved feelings about her late father, the sheriff she succeeded. The mystery’s central tension links the search for a killer to the possibility that someone will do anything to keep a secret—and to the safety of Bet’s town.

  • Readers who enjoy police-procedural mysteries centered on a homicide investigation.
  • Readers interested in crime stories where a close-knit town and its hidden tensions shape the case.

Book overview

A female sheriff races against time to solve a murder at a carnival that puts her whole town at risk. Thrilling, romantic, and full of suspense!

Sheriff Bet Rivers' inspection of the carnival grounds should have been routine. Murder is certainly the last thing on anyone's mind. Then comes the sound of a gunshot. And a dead body with no signs of trauma, no witnesses and no obvious motive for the killing.

But solving the unexplained death is only part of the challenge. Bet is still grappling with her on-off relationship with town owner Rob Collier, while dealing with her feelings about her late father, the beloved town sheriff she had to replace.

As Bet launches her homicide investigation, she soon discovers the carnival is a place of whispers, rumours, resentments and lie after lie. And as the stakes build, it quickly becomes clear that protecting a deadly secret is something that someone is willing to kill to keep.

Fans of Julia Keller and Sheena Kamal will love this riveting suspense.
