September Mour‪n‬

 "Once again, the very funny Lourey serves up a delicious dish of murder, mayhem, and merriment." ―Booklist (starred review)


The Minnesota State Fair is the beloved home of 4H exhibits, Midway rides, and everything on a stick. The festival fun is riding high until the recently crowned Milkfed Mary, Queen of the Dairy, a Battle Lake native, is brutally murdered while her regal likeness is carved in butter.
