Description
"A renaissance fair is coming to the relatively quiet college town of Farberville, Arkansas, which is not the sort of news that usually sets local bookseller Claire Malloy's heart racing. But with Caron, Claire's perpetually petulant teenage daughter, being pulled into volunteering (either that or face the horror of doing homework over the summer) and her fiance, Police Lieutenant Peter Rosen, away, Claire finds herself drawn into the strange inner workings of the group putting on the fair." "But just as Claire decides that her time might be better spent fretting over the details of her upcoming nuptials, one of the volunteers helping with the Ren fair falls victim to arson, her body found burned in the wreckage of her rented home. Even stranger, none of the members of the local chapter of the Association for Renaissance Scholarship and Enlightenment (ARSE) - the group putting on Farberville's first Ren fair - has ever met the woman in the flesh, and none can provide any information about who she is or where she came from. However, someone is definitely dead, and the fire looks very suspicious - but is it murder?" "When the fair opens, tensions expose the dark secrets and malevolent schemes that lurk beneath the superficial congeniality of the ARSE members. The lords are leaping, the ladies are lying, and the knights are fighting - while someone is committing murder most heinous. And with Claire's dreams of a blissful wedding hanging in the balance, she has no choice but to fling herself into the battle and match wits with the killer."-JACKET.
