The Lantern Fair Murders
(2025)(The second book in the Bickersby Mystery series)
A novel by Evie Byrns
Come one, come all to the annual Lantern Fair . . . mystery and mayhem guaranteed!
The time for pumpkin carving and woolly cardigans has come and Theo looks forward to attending his first ever Lantern Fair in the small village of Bickersby. But excitement soon turns to fear when a murderer strikes, and Theo is once again drawn into a mystery. His suspicions immediately fall on the town’s newcomers. Could the murderer be the charming stranger now living in his aunt’s cottage, or perhaps the handsome barista with his eye on Theo’s favourite vampire barmaid? What about the mysterious new owner of the antique shop, is she as innocent as she seems?
With a new love interest in his life, Theo would like nothing more than to enjoy the cosy rhythms of his favourite season. But life as a village florist is a little more adventurous than he bargained for, and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to keep his wits about him. When it comes to Bickersby’s annual Lantern Fair, not all scares are harmless . . .
The Lantern Fair Murders is the second in the cozy paranormal series The Bickersby Mysteries and can be read as a standalone novel. So, if you fancy following a hapless leading man who's trying to solve a twisty whodunnit while craving some sweet romance, then grab yourself a mug of something hot and settle in for a spooky autumnal read!
P.S. The Lantern Fair Murders is written in British English so American readers might see an S where they’re expecting a Z, and a U where they’ve never seen one before!
