It's the week of the annual Wool Fair in Haxford and if Christine Capper is looking forward to visiting with her granddaughter, the owner of the travelling fair has other ideas when he call upon Christine for help.
There's something not quite right about Francois, the owner of Ketchak's Funfair and as he complains that someone has sent him a death threat, Christine has her doubts, but when his brake lines are cut she changes her mind.
She finds his family, Rachel, Gina, Nick and his second in command, the muscular hunk, Ossie Travis, disinterested, uncommunicative and in some instances, downright obstructive, and things are not improved twenty fours later when the ghost train plays host to killing.
Resentful fairground workers, an Adonis distracting her, a playful but unruly collie, an irritated police inspector and stolen buns, it all spells a frustrating mystery for Haxford's only private investigator in her second outing…
Death at the Wool Fair is book two of Mrs Capper's Casebooks, a cosy‑mystery series about a sharp‑witted Yorkshire housewife‑turned‑private‑investigator solving twisty small‑town crimes with humour, heart, and a knack for finding trouble.
