This is another Meg Langslow mystery; I just recently reviewed one of them (Some Like it Hawk). Somehow my library got two of them in at about the same time. This is the more recent story in the series, but every book is able to stand on its own. Don't worry about having to read the entire series to know what's going on! As usual for these books, it is very funny and amusing. It is also eccentric and a little off the beaten path.
Meg has been suckered into being the deputy director of the "Un-fair," a local fair they started when the state fair looked like it would close for financial reasons. The fair focuses on heritage animal breeds, but it also has a Midway located in the neighboring county. The first night starts with a great many problems, as they discover two chickens have been stolen, a giant pumpkin has been smashed, and a quilt has disappeared. During the following days of investigation, a dead body turns up and things turn more serious.
The Meg Langslow books are always clean. It does contain a murder, but it isn't particularly gory or violent.
This is a quick easy read that is very entertaining and definitely worth the time!
