She never misses a target. But unless she can solve this murder, she'll become one...
Amidst the bright lights and wonder of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, darkness descends in the most unexpected places. Beneath the towering Ferris wheel, a man's life is snuffed out, casting a shadow over the festivities. For Annie Oakley, renowned for her unparalleled sharpshooting, this is no mere spectacle--it's a call to action.
The weight on her shoulders intensifies when an old friend's desperate plea pulls her into a personal quest: to shield her daughter from the lurking peril. As bodies mysteriously appear around the fairgrounds, Annie dives deep into the web of intrigue, racing against the sands of time. But as she gets closer to the truth, she makes a chilling discovery--the real target might just be herself.
In Folly at the Fair, Kari Bovée catapults readers into an electrifying world of historical suspense, where every corner turned could lead to a clue or a trap. This gripping tale, adorned with the vibrancy of the Gilded Age and shadowed by treachery, is an immersive experience from start to finish. If heart-pounding mysteries set against rich historical backdrops make your pulse race, this book is your next unputdownable read. Hold your breath, take aim, and plunge into a story where the stakes are as high as the Ferris wheel itself.
