CELEBRATE GOOD CRIMES!
Mystery is Afoot in Holiday Junction!
Dive into the heart of Holiday Junction, where April Fool's festivities are no laughing matter. Violet Rhinehammer, the sharp-witted editor of the Junction Journal, is on the scene, capturing the frolics and fun of the Fool's Festival for the eager readers of the village. But this year, the jokes take a backseat when a chilling prophecy from a festival palm reader turns Violet's world upside down.
Celebrations turn to suspicions at the surprise party for Violet's boyfriend, Darren, who's just aced the bar exam. But the night is marred by a scuffle with a notorious bar regular, leading to a series of events that even Holiday Junction's merry traditions can't overshadow.
As Violet juggles her reporter's notebook with her knack for sleuthing, the festive air is shattered by a grim discovery—the body of last night's troublemaker. With Darren's legal eagle eyes and Violet's determination, they delve into a mystery where everyone's a suspect and motives are as plentiful as easter eggs hidden in the park.

My Review:
April Fool’s Alibi is the ninth book in the Holiday Cozy
Mystery series, a spin-off of the Camper and Criminals series. The spin-off is
headlined by Normal's ace reporter Violet Rhinehammer. She exits Normal to move
onto greener pastures and finds herself in a different small town.
As the title indicates, is April Fool’s time in Holiday Junction.
The Fool’s Festival is in full swing, and the town of Holiday Junction is in
celebration mode. When the local palm reader focuses one of her predictions on
Violet, and then a body is found, Violet finds herself in the middle of a
murder case that gets weirder by the minute.
April Fool’s Alibi is a quick read, and a bit darker than previous
books in the series. Other than the antics of Dave the Rooster, there wasn’t as
much lightheartedness in the pages of this book. It was a refreshing change up
and an enjoyable addition to the series.
I continue to enjoy Violet and Darren and love how their
relationship continues to grow as the series progresses. I enjoy getting to
know everyone in Holiday Junction. We get to meet interesting people and learn
how important holidays are in this town. The mystery was well thought out, full
of suspense, and contained red herrings. I am looking forward to the next book.
I was provided a copy of this book.
