It's a beautiful day at the fair... but someone thinks it's a fine day for murder... Summer is in full bloom in the picturesque countryside of Sussex, and Maisie Cooper is headed to the annual Bitling Fair. Maisie expects to enjoy homemade cakes, a glass of cider, and some Morris dancing. But what she doesn't expect are the tensions prevailing among the residents of East Bitling and the disputes stirred up by the tall and imposing Lady Catherine, from the grand house on the hill. Is this merely village politics? Or by the time the sun sets on the fair, will Maisie Cooper have another murder on her hands?
