Carnival Chaos

School fundraisers are supposed to be harmless... right?

Tess Casey signed up for the Ridgeville Elementary PTO to support her son, not to survive power-hungry committee presidents, designer-clad rival moms, and a week of carnival chaos. Between sticky cotton candy duty, petty politics, and her lifelong nemesis Catherine making every meeting miserable, Tess is already at her limit.

Then a fellow PTO mom turns up dead.

What started as small-town drama explodes into a full-blown murder investigation when Tess stumbles over the body at the carnival setup. Now the new sheriff is asking questions, the gossip mill is in overdrive, and every smiling parent suddenly looks like a potential suspect.

With her sharp-tongued best friends Gretchen and Val at her side, Tess can't help poking her nose where it doesn't belong. After all, in a town like Ridgeville, secrets don't stay buried, and neither do grudges. As the "Mom's Whodunit Club" begins untangling lies, flirtations, and long-simmering rivalries, Tess realizes the killer might be closer than anyone thinks... and the next PTA meeting could be murder.

Perfect for fans of funny, fast-paced cozy mysteries with strong female friendships, small-town secrets, and a dash of romance, Carnival Chaos is the charming and twisty start to a delightful new mystery series.
