Sometimes murder can be a royal pain...
Spring has come to Blue Valley, and that means the arrival of the Nottingham Medieval Faire -- owned and operated by the Webb brothers, Rich and Logan. The faire features King Richard the Lionhart, Prince John, Robin Hood and his merry men, Maid Marian, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and the whole gang. This year, Owen gets to play Robin Hood, and Alice has reluctantly agreed to be his Maid Marian.
Daytime events are held in Town Park and on Main Street, but in the evenings, the clearing in the woods near the lake lights up for jousts and balls, costumes, and all manner of revelry. Things go terribly awry, however, when one of the events has a rather dark outcome, and mayhem breaks loose.
Murder is afoot, and Owen is the number one suspect. Alice and Franny -- along with Ben and Luke -- won't rest until they find out who really ruined the Faire.
Can they clear Owen's name and catch a killer in time to save the Faire?
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
Alice and her friends in Blue Valley, Tennessee are getting ready for the annual Medieval Faire to arrive. They've all got their costumes, and this year baker Owen is going to be Robin Hood -- even though he's never shot an arrow. Still, everyone is excited, especially at the hint of a celebrity guest.
The guest turns out to be a movie star who is also friends with Rich Webb, the elder of the two brothers who run the faire. But not everyone in town is happy with the faire, and when someone is shot through the heart with an arrow, it's suspected that Owen did the deed.
But his friends don't believe it, and they determine to find the truth -- even if it means putting their own lives in danger to do so...
This is the third book in the series and I quite enjoyed it as much as the first two. It's written well, and the plot line is interesting, surrounding the events taking place at an annual faire. With suspects abounding, and motives in the air, Alice and Franny, along with Ben and Luke, have their tasks cut out for them. Who had the best motive? Or the opportunity?
I'm getting to enjoy the characters more and more, and while we only get a glimpse or two of each of them in different books, we learn more about their pasts -- and this time about the future of some of them. It's fun reading, doesn't take a lot of time to do so, and makes you want to read the next in the series. That's a good thing, and I enjoyed this look into their lives.
