A historical mystery set amid the spectacle of the Chicago World’s Fair, where a celebrated sharpshooter turns detective after a body is found beneath the Ferris wheel. Real-history glamour, fairground menace and amateur sleuthing in the Gilded Age.
She never misses a target… but this time, she might be one.
The Chicago World’s Fair is a dazzling display of innovation, spectacle—and secrets. When a man is murdered beneath the towering Ferris wheel, Annie Oakley finds herself in the middle of a mystery as chilling as the Chicago winds.
An old friend begs Annie to protect her daughter from a growing danger, but as more bodies turn up around the fairgrounds, it becomes clear the threat isn’t just to one girl—it’s to Annie herself.
With her rifle at the ready and danger circling closer, Annie must unravel a web of lies, betrayal, and hidden enemies before it’s too late. Because this time, the sharpshooter might not be fast enough.
Folly at the Fair is part of the Annie Oakley Mystery Series, a high-stakes historical mystery series filled with grit, glamour, and galloping suspense.
