Merry Chapman's Reviews > April Fool's Alibi

Far be it for Holiday Junction not to celebrate any day that could be another festival. So now, it is April and there's April Fools day, we have the Holiday Junction Fool's Festival with visitors and townspeople celebrating with booths and activities. Violet is the town's journalist and is out and about taking photos of the fun for the next journal addition. As she is talking pictures, the woman from the palm reader's booth came up to her with a dire message. Although Violet couldn't put the message out of her mind, she new she had to. At the same time, she is putting the final touches on a surprise party for Darren, her boyfriend who owns the local pub but has just passed his bar exam. With so many friends in town and the bar crowded, Darren was certainly surprised. Everything was going well until a disgruntled Frank who wasn't invited demands his drink loudly and starts bad mouthing Diffy the lawyer in town who Darren trained under. It came to blows and finally the mild Diffy hits Frank and more could have happened if the police Chief, Darren's father stepped in and told Frank to leave. He left and so did Diffy. Unfortunately, the next day, Frank is found murdered in Diffy's office. So now we have an obvious suspect. Both Violet and Darren believe in Diffy's innocence and Darren has his first law case to prove his client's innocence and Violet is also on the case. Then we have the murder of the palm reader. What is going on? Are the murders connected and how? This book as all the books in this series is a page turner that keeps you hooked from the beginning and held until the very end turning page after page. The ending is a surprise and really well done. I highly recommend this book as well as the whole series. I received and ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
