Title: Fiesta of Fear Series: #6 of Black Horse Campground Author: Amy Bennett Narrator: Chloe Cannon Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 58 minutes Release date: September 17, 2024 Genres: Cozy Mystery Publisher's Summary: A fall festival turns murderous in this haunting and wholly unforgettable sixth Black Horse Campground mystery from the author of A Summer to Remember. With a mix of Anglo, Native, and Hispanic cultures, the village of Bonney, New Mexico, has its share of folklore and legends, but no one has ever heard of the Ghost Girls before. Three high school girls have convinced their fellow students that they have powers, but now that they're graduating, new recruits are needed to carry on the tradition. One night, the Ghost Girls take a hopeful prospect to the cemetery, where they discover a missing kid—and a recently-deceased man. The child is Mark Jr., the son of Corrie's best friend. And the corpse? The high school principal. Mark had been causing so much trouble at school that he'd been suspended, but Corrie can't believe he's a killer. As the village of Bonney gathers for the annual San Ignacio Fall Festival at the Black Horse Campground, Sheriff Rick Sutton and Det. J. D. Wilder uncover a web of bullying, hatred, and revenge—in which nothing is sacred. Not the school. Not the church. And definitely not Corrie's campground . . .

Flavia is the best female detective I’ve ever read, full of realism, self-confidence, and emotion (in roughly equal parts), and her tales are hilarious, engaging, and occasionally heartbreaking.”—Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Outlander series Flavia de Luce has taken on the mentorship of her odious moon-faced cousin Undine, who has come to live at Buckshaw following the death of her mother. Undine’s main talent, aside from cultivating disgusting habits, seems to be raising Flavia’s hackles, although in her best moments she shows potential for trespassing, trickery, and other assorted mayhem. When Major Greyleigh, a local recluse and former hangman, is found dead after a breakfast of poisonous mushrooms, suspicion falls on the de Luce family’s longtime cook, Mrs. Mullet. After all, wasn’t it she who’d picked the mushrooms, cooked the omelet, and served it to Greyleigh moments before his death? “I have to admit,” says Flavia, an expert in the chemical nature of poisons, “that I’d been praying to God for a jolly good old-fashioned mushroom poisoning. Not that I wanted anyone to die, but why give a girl a gift such as mine without giving her the opportunity to use it?” But Flavia knows the beloved Mrs. Mullet is innocent. Together with Dogger, estate gardener and partner-in-crime, and the obnoxious Undine, Flavia sets out to find the real killer and clear Mrs. Mullet’s good name. Little does she know that following the case’s twists and turns will lead her to a most surprising discovery—one with the power to upend her entire life.
