A Killer Carnival by Jeannette De Beauvoir

A Killer Carnival by Jeannette De Beauvoir

Sydney Riley is busier than ever organizing parties, weddings, and even a float for Provincetown's Carnival Parade. When her boyfriend's sister, Karen--who happens to be Boston's Police Commissioner--arrives for an unexpected visit, things don't add up. It's totally out of character for Karen to take a vacation, never mind at high season in a tiny summer resort packed with tens of thousands of scantily-clad revelers. Sydney suspects an ulterior motive and starts to investigate, which brings her face-to-face with some ugly truths about the world--and herself.

Filled with the colorful characters and unexpected twists you've come to expect, this fourth book in the Sydney Riley series offers a gripping tale of courage and conviction set against the festive backdrop of Provincetown's most outrageous week.

Despite the fact that Jeannette de Beauvoir grew up in Angers, France, her American mother kept the house well-stocked with Golden Age English-language mystery books, and she owes all she's written to her early reading of them. Her work has been published in 15 countries and translated into 12 languages. She writes historical and mystery fiction (sometimes blending the two), as well as plays and poetry.
