Synopsis (Goodreads):

Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, Jackson's kisses keep coming, and despite the occasional moodiness of her ghostly housemate, Sunni is looking forward to the season.

It's spring break in Firefly Junction and the Stockton Traveling Carnival has come to town. Sunni finds herself saddled with an uninspiring story assignment. But in between the mix of sugary carnival treats, scream-inducing rides and timeless arcade games, someone murders Madame Cherise, the fortune teller, and Sunni's assignment takes a wild turn.

Thoughts on Calamity at the Carnival: Sunni's latest assignment is to write an article about the annual carnival that rolls into town during spring break. Besides the obvious enjoyment of getting to spend some time wandering around eating sweet treats with her favorite hunky detective, Sunni's not all that jazzed with what she's learning. Until, you know, someone ends up dead. Then she has a story. (And that makes it sound like she's offing people just so she has sensational stories to write and that's not the case AT ALL. The lady just likes following clues and figuring out whodunit.)

Soon Sunni's meeting up with the carnival people, learning their secrets, and trying to figure out how a fortune teller ended up dead. She also gets the joy of (yet again) viewing a dead body since she and Jax and the first on the scene (thanks to another interrupted date).

A little fun in the sun, a murder, and a whole lot of clues to unravel. Sunni's in her element as she uses her journalist's nose to sniff out who's guilty. *thumbs up*
