The year is 1935. Kitty and her husband Matt are spending part of their honeymoon at an aunt's house in Yorkshire. Preparations for a village fair are currently underway in the village. There should even be a real elephant there. A big event for the whole community. Everyone has a wonderful time on the big day. At least until Kitty and Matt find a villager's dead body in the fortune teller's tent. It quickly becomes clear that the victim was not very popular in the village. That leads to many suspects. Kitty and Matt take up the investigation and get deeper and deeper into the abysses of the village community.
As I said before, I loved the book. The main characters were very sympathetic, and many of the secondary characters are also quickly drawn into the reader's heart. In the course of the story you have a number of suspects and it stays exciting until the end. The book is worthwhile for every fan of cozy crime. And best of all, there is a whole series of books. So, excuse me, I must now read the other volumes. ;-)
